Add a Hidden Halo or Pavé Band to Your Engagement Ring: Customize with Hidden Sparkle

When you're shopping for an engagement ring, it’s natural to want something that feels personal, thoughtful, and just a little different. At Laura Preshong, we specialize in made-to-order engagement rings that start with our signature designs and become uniquely yours through meaningful customization.

Two of the most popular ways to personalize your engagement ring? A hidden halo and a pavé diamond band. Both add refined sparkle and elegant detail—and they’re fully customizable to match your style and values. Whether you’re looking for a custom engagement ring in Boston or working with us online, our team will help you design a ring that’s ethically made and beautifully one-of-a-kind.

What Is a Hidden Halo Engagement Ring?

A hidden halo is a band of small diamonds or gemstones that sits just beneath the center stone, circling the base of the basket. While it's mostly hidden from the top view, it adds a stunning surprise sparkle when viewed from the side.

This subtle design element is ideal for someone who wants extra brilliance without changing the classic top-down look of their engagement ring.

Types of Hidden Halos You Can Customize at Laura Preshong:

• Natural Diamond Hidden Halo: Classic sparkle using ethically sourced natural diamonds
  
  

• Lab-Grown Diamond Hidden Halo: A sustainable and conflict-free alternative with just as much brilliance
  
  

• Colored Gemstone Halo: Add personality or symbolism with sapphires, emeralds, rubies, or your birthstone
  
  

Hidden halos are one of the most requested engagement ring upgrades for a reason—they offer an elevated, custom touch without overwhelming the center stone.

What Is a Pavé Band on an Engagement Ring?

A pavé diamond band features small diamonds set closely along the band, creating a continuous shimmer that enhances the overall brilliance of the ring. At Laura Preshong, we typically add 14–16 ethically sourced pavé diamonds for a balanced, elegant look that complements your center stone.

Benefits of a Pavé Band:

• Enhances sparkle without taking away from the center diamond or gemstone
  
  

• Adds a luxurious, polished finish to any engagement ring style
  
  

• Available in all precious metals, including 14k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum
  
  

Looking to go bolder? Combine a pavé band with a hidden halo for sparkle from every angle.
