Not entirely. While yes, the smaller surrounding stones can provide some protection to the larger center stone, any damage to the surrounding stones will take away from the overall beauty of the halo ring. This is why we strongly recommend you speak with a jewelry expert or take a look at any verified retailer's warranty policy.

It never hurts to have an additional layer of security and protection with your warranty, even if the halo on your ring can protect your diamond.
