Hidden Halo: Elevate Your Center Stone with Complete Parametric Control
Book a demo with our teamJuly 28, 2026 · RhinoArtisan · RhinoArtisan 7.0
Hidden halo settings have become one of the defining trends in modern engagement rings.
Unlike a traditional halo, where accent diamonds surround the center stone from above, a hidden halo sits just beneath it. The result is a subtle sparkle that enhances the ring from every angle while keeping the center gemstone as the undisputed focal point.
With RhinoArtisan 7.0, creating this sophisticated setting is easier than ever with the new Hidden Halo tool, designed to give jewelers complete creative control while keeping every element fully parametric.
A Hidden Detail That Makes a Big Difference
Hidden halos have become increasingly popular because they add brilliance without changing the clean silhouette of a solitaire ring.
From the top, the ring maintains a timeless appearance.
From the side, the hidden row of diamonds reveals an unexpected level of detail that catches the light beautifully.
It’s a design element that many clients only notice when they wear the ring—making it a subtle but memorable feature.
Customize Every Element
Every ring is different, and so is every hidden halo.
RhinoArtisan allows designers to fine-tune every detail of the setting, including:
- The surrounding gemstones
- Prong position
- Prong proportions
- Overall placement of the hidden halo
- Setting parameters
Rather than relying on fixed presets, designers can adapt the setting to match the proportions and style of each piece.
The result is a hidden halo that feels truly integrated into the design.
A Workflow That Evolves with Your Design
One of the biggest advantages of Hidden Halo is that it remains fully parametric.
As the design evolves, the setting evolves with it.
Need to change a round diamond to an oval?
Or replace it with a pear, cushion, or emerald cut?
Simply update the center stone and continue refining the design.
The hidden halo automatically adapts, allowing designers to explore different gemstone shapes without rebuilding the setting from scratch.
A New Way to Design Hidden Halos
Hidden Halo is another example of RhinoArtisan 7.0’s commitment to smarter, more flexible jewelry workflows.
It combines elegant design with parametric editing, allowing jewelers to create sophisticated hidden halo settings with greater speed, confidence, and creative freedom.
Because the best designs aren’t just built once, they evolve until every detail is exactly where it belongs.
