When there is a diamond or many diamonds on a ring, there are surely one or more ring settings that keep them adjoining to the ring. Different diamond ring settings are prevailing in the market, each being unique and beautiful in its own way and style. Here you will have a brief idea of most, but not all, of them.
Unique Diamond Ring Settings
Some popular unique diamond ring settings:
The most common diamond setting is the prong setting. It offers maximum brilliance and luster of the diamond, with the least interference of band metal. It utilizes prongs or thin metal wires to rise up and secure the stone. The two variations of this setting are V-shape prong and common prong. Prong setting is mainly used to secure the princess cut diamonds. Next is, the bezel setting. The metal takes a shape of a collar surrounding the diamond exposing only its upper facet. It secures the diamond more firmly but let minimum light to reflect from it. A variation is half bezel that allows more light to pass through the stone and make it shine. Unlike prong or bezel setting, channel setting is not raised up. It sets in the diamonds into the metal leveling with it. The setting is highly secure but gives out the least luster. If there is not central diamond, or if you want baguettes, this is the best option. An alternative is bar setting.
More unique diamond ring settings:
Pave setting covers the surface of the ring with diamond studs. Bead and cluster settings also work for the rings with several smaller diamonds studded across it. The cluster setting can take a look of a stylized design or pattern too. Flush setting is another setting where the diamonds are in contact with the band of the ring, making a diamond studded band ideal for ornamented wedding bands. Arranging tapered diamonds around a central one in baguette style is the unique feature of ballerina setting.
