Choosing An Oval Hidden Halo Engagement Ring

Few shapes flatter the hand like an oval. Its length draws the eye along the finger, making the hand look longer and slimmer, and because it spreads its weight over a longer outline, it usually shows more surface face-up than a round of the same carat weight. Put simply, an oval does look bigger than a round. A hidden halo adds a quieter kind of detail. From above, the ring reads as a clean solitaire; in profile, it adds a flash of light most people only notice up close. For anyone who wants that clean solitaire look with extra sparkle up close, a hidden halo is worth it, since it changes the profile rather than the view from above. This edit brings together 8 oval hidden halo engagement rings, from $1,675, each taking a 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 carat lab-grown center, E-F color and VS+ clarity, in yellow gold, white gold or platinum. As a wedding band for an oval hidden halo engagement ring, a straight pavé or plain band keeps the look clean. Try the two together to check the fit.
