Ring Settings and Styles

"Setting" refers to the way gemstones are placed or held to a metallic base, a ring's setting is designed to accentuate the beauty of its diamond. "Style" refers to the entirety of the design aesthetic of the ring.

Ring Setting

Prong Setting

The prong setting, featuring slim metal arms that securely cradle the diamond at the girdle, is the most commonly used type of mounting in diamond jewelry. This setting enables light to strike the gemstone from multiple angles, producing maximum brilliance, fire, and sparkle.

Pavé Setting

Pavé, originating from the French word for "paving," refers to a type of bead setting where neighboring gemstones are held by a shared bead. Using diminutive metal prongs or beads, small diamonds or stones are secured to partially cover the jewelry, giving the illusion of a dazzling pathway that highlights the central gemstone and attracts the eye.

Tension Setting

Using opposing directions of pressure in a tension setting, a diamond can be securely held in place, creating the mesmerizing illusion of a diamond suspended in midair. With open sides and a high seat, light effortlessly enters and exits the gemstone, resulting in an exceptional sparkle.

Bezel Setting

A bezel setting is a type of diamond setting that holds the diamond inside a custom-made thin metal rim that surrounds the outside of the stone, keeping it secure and protected while giving the ring a sleek, modern appearance.

Ring Styles

Multi-stone
