Hailey Bieber's Engagement Ring: The Oval Hidden Halo

Hailey Bieber's engagement ring helped launch one of the biggest jewellery trends of recent years: the oval solitaire with a hidden halo. When Justin Bieber proposed in 2018, the ring looked like a simple oval on a fine band, but a closer look revealed a secret ring of diamonds tucked beneath the centre stone.

It is elegant, understated and clever, and it has been endlessly copied since. Here is what it is, why the hidden halo works so well, and how to capture the look. See more celebrity engagement rings for inspiration.

In short: Hailey Bieber's engagement ring is a large oval-cut diamond, estimated at six carats or more, set on a fine band with a hidden halo of smaller diamonds beneath the centre stone. Estimates place its value in the hundreds of thousands. Reve has recreated the look, the Oval Hidden Halo Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring, available from £1,500.

The ring, in detail

The centre stone is a large elongated oval on a delicate band, which on its own would be a beautiful solitaire. What makes it special is the hidden halo: a ring of small diamonds set horizontally around the base of the centre stone, invisible from above but sparkling from the side.

It is a detail you only notice up close, which is exactly the appeal. The ring looks clean and minimal head-on, but catches the light from every angle.

• Diamond cut: Oval

What is a hidden halo?

A hidden halo is a circle of small diamonds set just below the centre stone, facing outward rather than upward. From above the ring looks like a clean solitaire, but from the side the extra diamonds add sparkle and make the centre stone appear a touch larger. Our diamond education guide covers halo and hidden-halo settings.

Why the oval and hidden halo work together

An oval already looks large for its carat weight, and the hidden halo amplifies that effect while keeping the top view minimal. It is the perfect combination for someone who wants a big, brilliant look without a busy setting, which is why it became such a defining modern style.

How to get the look

Choose an elongated oval, set it on a fine pave band, and add a hidden halo for that extra flash from the side. In a lab-grown diamond you can have a large oval and this refined detail comfortably within budget.

Is a hidden halo right for you?

A hidden halo gives you extra sparkle and a slightly larger look while keeping a clean, minimal face, so it suits someone who loves understated detail. It is a little more intricate to clean around, but the payoff in brilliance is worth it. If you want a modern classic, this is one of the best.
