Halo Hidden Beneath The Stone, Not Encircling It From Above
Halo Hidden Beneath The Stone, Not Encircling It From Above
Many halo engagement rings surround the centre stone with a visible ring of diamonds that's immediately apparent from any angle. The Lea takes a different approach: its halo sits hidden beneath the centre diamond, invisible from above.
Hidden halo positioned beneath, not around, the centre stone
The smaller diamonds are set beneath the centre stone rather than encircling it — a concrete structural distinction from a standard halo, invisible from above but catching the light from the side for a subtle base of sparkle.
Every ring individually hallmarked with specific stamps
Each ring carries a hallmark — 750 for 18ct gold or 950 for platinum — a concrete, legally regulated mark of metal purity, rather than an unverified claim of precious metal content.
Centre stone dimensions given to the millimetre
The centre diamond is specified at 1.00ct, measuring exactly 8.6mm x 5.5mm — a concrete, precise measurement, rather than a carat weight alone without the physical dimensions that determine how the stone actually looks on the hand.
Hidden halo diamonds matched for colour and clarity
The hidden halo diamonds carry a specific graded quality of F colour, VS clarity, hand-selected to match the centre stone — a concrete, documented grading standard, not a vague assurance of "quality diamonds" without grading detail.
Handmade in a named, specific location
The ring is handmade in Hatton Garden, London — a concrete, named production location with a historic jewellery-making reputation, rather than an unspecified "handcrafted" claim with no stated origin.
Choice of four specific metal options
The ring is available in platinum, 18ct white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold — four concrete, named metal choices, rather than a single fixed option with no flexibility.
Claw-set construction named specifically
The centre stone is described as claw-set — a concrete, specific setting technique, distinct from bezel or pavé settings that would change both the look and the amount of light reaching the stone.
