Setting Trends: Why Bezel and Hidden Halo Engagement Rings Are Taking Over

Modern Settings for the Modern Bride 

When it comes to engagement rings, understated luxury is leading the way. More and more brides are choosing settings that combine timeless elegance with everyday wearability—and that’s where bezel and hidden halo designs shine. Once overlooked, the setting is now just as important as the diamond’s cut, shape, or overall design. 

What Is a Bezel Setting? 

A bezel setting (also known as a rubover setting) surrounds the diamond with a slim metal rim that holds it securely in place. Sleek and modern, it’s one of the most durable settings available, making it perfect for people with active lifestyles.

  • Very practical, both smooth and snag-free 
  • Offers a clean, minimal aesthetic 
  • Protects the diamond from chips and knocks 
  • Works beautifully with both round and fancy-cut stones 

Bezel settings feel fresh and unfussy and are super on trend right now. They’re ideal for brides who want style without the stress.

The Subtle Sparkle of the Hidden Halo 

Unlike a traditional halo (which circles the main stone), a hidden halo sits just beneath the diamond’s base—adding sparkle without stealing the spotlight. It’s an elegant detail that reveals itself when the ring is viewed from the side. It’s a romantic addition to your ring, too, as only you and your partner know it’s there. 

  • Adds secret sparkle from every angle 
  • Enhances the size and brilliance of the centre stone 
  • Creates a unique profile without overwhelming the design 
  • Complements solitaires and pavé bands alike 

This trend speaks to brides who want to add sparkle to their ring, but like the sleek, minimalist look.
