Introduction Of Diamond Setting Methods

1、Prong Setting & Solitaire Setting

The most common and classic inlay is the Prong Setting. This shape is to use a small metal claw to hold the diamond tightly and fix the diamond on the ring. The claws can be rounded, pointed, flat or V-shaped (this is also the most common style used for princess diamonds.) The most distinctive claw shape is four claws or six claws, in the four claw shape Down, you can see more diamonds, but the six-claw will be safer. The advantage of this shape is that it uses the least amount of metal, so more diamonds can be seen, and more light can shine into the diamond, which makes the diamond more dazzling.

　　 However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, the claws may hook on clothes or other materials, especially the protruding claws. But flat paws are very suitable for women with more active lifestyles. The most buyers will choose to wear this style of ring. Nevertheless, the claws of the ring should be checked regularly to ensure that they are not loose or damaged.

　　 Regarding the claw shape, the most common one is the inlay of solitaire diamonds or the inlay of other precious gems. This solo diamond shape can draw all our attention to the diamond without distracting us from other stones or the work of the ring.

 2、Bezel Setting

Bezel Setting is the second most popular diamond ring shape. It not only has a modern appearance, but is also very suitable for people who live an active life. It does not use its claws to grasp the diamond, but uses a thin metal frame to tightly wrap the diamond inside. The cutting edge shape can be a complete package or a part of the package, which is to leave a part of the corners of the diamond. For nurses, teachers, or other people who want to look for a ring shape that will not catch anything, but can fully protect the diamond, this edging is the best choice. In the picture below, an emerald-cut diamond is placed in a rose gold ring using the edge setting method.

3,Tension Setting

The Tension Setting is named because it relies on the tension of the metal itself to hold the diamond. As a result, it looks like the diamond is suspended between the two metal handles of the ring. People call it a clip setting. With the help of laser technology, the diamond is accurately calibrated, and then a very tiny groove is made by the jeweler on the two handles of the ring, so the diamond or other precious stones are fixed by the pressure of the metal handle On the ring.

The shape of the Tension Setting makes the diamond look like it is hanging in the air. It is also a very distinctive shape, and the manufacturing process is not too complicated and the cost is not high. Card setting style setting also increases the safety of some diamonds, because it uses prong setting or bezel setting to further strengthen the diamond around or at the bottom. There are two pictures below. The picture on the left is a classic card setting (two-tone metal and pear-shaped diamond), and the second picture on the right is a card setting style. Note that the shape of the bezel setting is wrapped with brilliant diamonds, and then placed on a card-set style ring.
