The right setting can enhance the look of a diamond. Here, we break down and show you the different settings for engagement and wedding rings.
A channel setting has two long tracks of precious metal that hold a row of gemstones side-by-side.
The earliest method of setting gemstones into jewelry, the bezel setting is a technique where a gemstone is surrounded by a thin, flat piece of metal.
Micro pave refers to any small, closely set stones.
Metal claws raise a stone to allow in the most light; four or six prongs are common.
Several small diamonds flank a larger center one.
Stones are sunk into holes so they are flush with the ring's surface.
