Settings

|
Before deciding on the
setting styles; consider the following questions:
- Will it be yellow gold, white gold or platinum?
- Will the band be simple or adorned with smaller stones?
- Does her taste run modern, vintage, floral, romantic or
more contemporary?
Would
you like the diamond to be set with additional side stones or alone

Prong
Setting:
Show off your diamond
If you are looking for a setting for a solitaire
diamond ring, the Prong Setting is the most popular. It is designed to highlight
the diamond. The prongs hold the diamond securely while at the same time
allowing light to shine up through the diamond. The four-prong solitaire
setting and the six-prong solitaire setting will allow maximum sparkle and
brilliance for the diamond.

Channel Setting:
Go for the bold
Two strips of gold or platinum create a dramatic
channel for stones set side-by-side. The gems are set flush with the metal,
offering protection from snags, but slightly diminishing the ability for light
to shine through.

Pave Setting
All Sparkle
Like a metal honeycomb, small gemstones are
placed very close together in tiny holes of the frame. All you see is diamonds
since no metal is visible to the eye. This setting reflects quality, elegance,
and brilliance

Three-Stone Diamond Setting
Brilliant Tradition
Three stones are mounted together, in three
prong settings. Often a larger, more impressive look is created by placing
three smaller diamonds together. This setting allows more light to pass through
for heightened color, brilliance and fire.

It's All About Highlights
The bezel setting creates a metal frame that
surrounds the stone. Not only is this a nice way to make your stone look
larger, but it can also conceal nicks and chips around the girdle.

Select a Setting She'll
Love Without Blowing the Surprise
Discovering
what kind of ring she likes can be a challenge if you want to keep your
proposal a secret. Below is a list of all the points you'll need to know before
you begin shopping, as well as some secret methods for discovering her ring
size and her taste in engagement rings.
- Take a good look at the color
of jewelry your partner wears. What color is the metal?
- Ask her friends or mother if
there is a type or style of ring she likes.
- Is she very active or not used
to wearing jewelry? If so, consider a cathedral or contour setting, which will
protect a diamond from rough.
Engagements
are rarely an out-of-the-blue surprise, so it is common to discuss engagement
ring choices with your partner. The only way to ensure you find a ring that
will match her taste and style is to shop for a ring together.

setting is extremely affordable and versatile. After presenting the diamond to
her, have the diamond remounted in the setting of her choice.
