*Diamond Settings

These are the types of setting and there descriptions that you may choose from when deciding on an eternity:

Channel Setting

Two strips of gold or platinum create a dramatic channel for diamonds set side-by-side. No metal appears between the diamonds. The diamonds are set flush with the metal, offering protection from snags, but slightly diminishing the ability for light to shine through. Channel set diamonds are popular with buyers looking for engagement and wedding rings.

Shared Prong Setting

The diamond or diamonds are held securely in place by either two (shared prong), four, or six metal prongs. These prongs raise the diamond up off of the finger and into the air, allowing the maximum amount of light to reach the diamond. Allowing light to shine up through the culet of the diamond (bottom portion, pointed tip of the diamond) through the diamond and out the top (table, flat top of the diamond) will allow the diamond the maximum amount of sparkle and brilliance.Shared Prong Setting also called Claw Setting. The four or six prong diamond setting is the most recommended and most preferred way to set a diamond, both for aesthetic purposes as well as security/safety settings.

Bar Setting

The bar setting is a variation on the prong setting. Rather than individual claws, prongs on each side of the setting are fused into elongated bars to hold the stone in place. This is a great option that highlights more metal but does not obscure the stone as much as bezel settings might.

Box Setting

The box setting is Two strips of gold or platinum, which are divided in to bars per stone whcreate a dramatic channel for diamonds set side-by-side. No metal appears between the diamonds. The diamonds are set flush with the metal, offering protection from snags, but slightly diminishing the ability for light to shine through. Channel set diamonds are popular with buyers looking for engagement and wedding rings.

Bezel Setting

Bezel is an elevated collar of metal that surrounds a gemstone. This distinctive setting gives a ring a very low profile, making it the perfect choice for active individuals who do not want to remove their rings frequently; the bezel provides greater protection than prong or other elevated engagement ring settings. In contrast to the flush setting, which has no collar surrounding the stone, the bezel is bolder and more noticeable.

One prominent myth about bezel settings is that they obstruct the stone, making it less brilliant. In fact, the majority of light entering a diamond comes through the stones table or top, therefore a bezel does not affect its characteristic glitter. In fact, most bezels offer greater protection for the stone, not only because they are a secure setting that protects the delicate edges of the stone, but they also prevent dirt, dust, and oil from building up on the gem precisely the factors that will cause a stone to become dull and cloudy.
