What is the point of a hidden halo ring?

In a halo ring, the additional stones are not placed around the center stone, but rather below it to make a base in which the center stone will sit. From above, the stone appears even more brilliant as the smaller stones bolster the amount of light being reflected from the ring as a whole.
