If you’re thinking of popping the big question—or you’re dropping hints for your dream ring—it’s time to explore one of the most elegant and timeless designs in the jewellery world: halo engagement rings in UK. Loved for their sparkle, vintage vibe, and romantic design, halo rings are fast becoming the top choice for couples who want something truly special.
At Aurika Gems, we believe an engagement ring should reflect your story and your style. Whether you adore a bold, statement-making design or lean toward delicate, hidden details, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about halo and hidden halo engagement rings—and how to choose one that makes your heart skip a beat.
What is a Halo Engagement Ring?
Let’s start with the basics. A halo engagement ring features a central gemstone surrounded by a circle (or halo) of smaller diamonds. This not only makes the center stone look larger, but it also adds a brilliant, eye-catching sparkle that you’ll notice even from across the room.
The halo design first gained popularity in the 1920s, but it’s now back in a big way—especially in the UK, where more couples are turning toward timeless elegance over trendy designs.
Why Are Halo Engagement Rings in UK So Popular?
The growing demand for halo engagement rings in UK isn’t just about looks—it’s about meaning, value, and personal style.
Here’s why people love them:
- Extra sparkle without the extra cost – The halo of smaller diamonds adds volume and shimmer, making the center diamond appear bigger—without the high cost of a large solitaire.
- Versatile and customisable – You can pair a halo with nearly any diamond shape: round, oval, pear, cushion, or emerald cut. It gives you the freedom to personalise.
- A symbol of eternity – The circle has long been a symbol of never-ending love, making the halo design both beautiful and meaningful.
And with British jewellers embracing this style, there’s a wide range of designs and craftsmanship available across the UK—from London’s luxury boutiques to independent designers like Aurika Gems.
Introducing the Hidden Halo Engagement Ring – A Secret Detail with Big Impact
If you love the idea of a halo but want something a little more understated or unique, consider the hidden halo engagement ring.
As the name suggests, the hidden halo isn’t visible from the top view. Instead, it sits just below the center stone, creating a soft glimmer from the side—a subtle surprise that adds depth and character to the ring. Think of it as a private sparkle meant just for you (and maybe those who get a closer look).
Hidden halos are ideal for those who want:
- A minimalist look from above but extra sparkle from the sides
- A modern twist on a traditional design
- A more secure and protected setting for the center stone
At Aurika Gems, our handcrafted hidden halo engagement rings are designed with attention to detail, giving you the best of both worlds—beauty and durability.
Choosing the Right Halo Ring for You
When it comes to halo engagement rings in UK, one size definitely doesn’t fit all. Your ring should reflect your personality and lifestyle. Here’s how to choose the right one for you or your partner:
1. Pick Your Centre Stone Shape
The most common choice is a round brilliant diamond, but don't limit yourself. Oval and pear-shaped stones are perfect for elongating the finger, while cushion cuts give a vintage, romantic vibe.
2. Decide on the Halo Style
You can go with a classic halo (all diamonds the same size), a double halo (two rows for extra sparkle), or a hidden halo engagement ring for a sleek and modern look.
3. Choose Your Metal
White gold is a timeless pick, but yellow gold and rose gold are making a strong comeback in the UK for their warm, vintage feel. Platinum is the most durable option for everyday wear.
4. Customise the Setting
At Aurika Gems, you can customise every detail of your ring—from the diamond cut and halo shape to the metal type and engraving. We’re here to bring your dream design to life.

Tips for Buying a Halo Engagement Ring in UK
1. Set Your Budget Wisely
You can get a stunning halo ring without spending a fortune. Because the halo adds size and shine, you can opt for a slightly smaller center diamond and still get a wow-worthy look.
2. Look for Certified Diamonds
Always check that the diamond is certified by a trusted gemological lab. At Aurika Gems, we offer GIA-certified diamonds so you know exactly what you’re getting.
3. Try Before You Buy (If Possible)
If you’re near a local showroom, try on different halo styles. If you’re shopping online, check for detailed photos and 3D previews. We provide high-res images and video previews for every ring.
4. Think About Wedding Band Pairing
Some halo rings have settings that don’t sit flush with a straight wedding band. Talk to your jeweller (or let us help!) to ensure your engagement ring and wedding band match perfectly.
