Frequently asked questions

What is a hidden halo engagement ring?
A hidden halo features a ring of small pavé diamonds set beneath the centre stone, only visible from the side. It adds brilliance and apparent size to the centre diamond without competing with it from above. The Vesper Emerald Hidden Halo pairs an emerald-cut centre with 16 hand-set diamonds tucked underneath.

What is the difference between a hidden halo and a regular halo?
A regular halo surrounds the centre stone visibly from above. A hidden halo sits beneath, only seen from the profile. Hidden halos give a cleaner top-down view while still adding light return and perceived size. See the Halo Lumina Emerald Solitaire for the visible halo version.

Are the diamonds certified?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are IGI-certified at E VVS1. Natural diamonds of 0.30ct or above are GIA-certified at F VS1 or E VS2.

Can I choose between lab grown and natural diamonds?
Yes. The Vesper Emerald Hidden Halo is offered with either IGI-certified lab grown diamonds (E VVS1) or GIA-certified natural diamonds (F VS1 or E VS2), at 0.50, 1.00, or 1.50ct centre weights.

How long does it take to make?
Each Vesper Emerald Hidden Halo Ring is hand-made to order in our Byron Bay Hinterland atelier by Australian goldsmiths. Lead times typically run 4 to 6 weeks. Free shipping Australia-wide once dispatched, with Lucano's lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Total Diamond Weight (available options):

  • 0.60 ct
  • 1.10 ct
  • 1.60 ct
Are lab grown diamonds as good as natural diamonds?
Lab grown and natural diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical. Every Lucano diamond is F VS graded. The only differences are provenance and price: lab grown diamonds cost less for the same colour and clarity grade, while natural diamonds carry geological rarity.
What does F VS mean in your diamond grading?
F is the colour grade, the highest 'colourless' tier just below D and E. VS means 'Very Slightly Included', where inclusions are visible only under 10x magnification and not to the naked eye. Every Lucano diamond meets or exceeds this standard.
Where is Lucano jewellery made and how are your diamonds sourced?
Every piece is hand-made in our Byron Bay Hinterland studio by Australian goldsmiths. Our founder is a member of St Eligio, Università e Nobil Collegio degli Orefici jewellery association established in Rome in 1508. Gold is sourced from ABC Refinery (Australia's only LBMA/SGE/COMEX-accredited independent refiner), and every diamond is traceable, RJC-certified, and comes with full chain-of-custody documentation.
What's the difference between 9ct, 18ct, and platinum settings?
9ct gold is harder and more affordable. 18ct gold has a richer warmth and higher gold content (75%). Platinum is the densest and most durable; it doesn't tarnish and develops a soft patina over time. Every Lucano setting holds your diamond with the same goldsmithing precision.
How long does a Lucano hand-made piece take?
Each piece is hand-made to order in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. You can see your specific production and delivery timeline on the product page.
