9 Ring Settings You Need To Know Before You Purchase Rings

Even the most modest diamond packs a big punch if you choose the perfect setting in which to display it. In fact, every setting has its practical implications, just as it does flair. Some were created to make smaller stones look more impressive — others to help reinforce and stabilize the stone. Still other settings, such as estate or antique have been recreated to mimic a look from the past.

Pave Setting

The name of this institution comes from the French word for “paved”. The highest quality pavé settings usually include small pieces of metal that hold each small diamond in place, giving the illusion that the environment is literally “paved” with precious gems. Diamonds set in the pavé can be placed in the body of the halo or ring.

Channel Setting

The channel setup has two parallel metal rows that form a central channel on which any number of stones can be placed. The duct set does not require metal points between each stone as the duct itself holds the stones in place. This gives the ring a fresh and modern look.

Bar Setting

A ring with a rod indicates that each stone is separated by a metal rod. The bar setup has a more contemporary design suitable for modern brides with minimalism.

Antique or Estate Setting

Property settings sometimes referred to as vintage or antique, are often decorated in nature. They are or are made to mimic the ring style of decades ago. Art Deco has a vintage feel. The same is true during the Edwardian era. This style of ring can be used with beautiful filigree accents, scrolls, and even floral-themed metalwork.

Prong Setting

The pinned stone is held high by 3 to 6 metal pegs, so it is very bright and light passes above and below the stone.

Bezel Setting

A fissure tooth consists of two diamonds held in place by a pair of fissure teeth (usually two). Bezel setting

The bezel setting includes a stone that is surrounded by a flat piece of metal and held in place. The metal slightly overlaps the stone around the rim and stays firmly in the ring. Ring sets are one of the oldest settings used for engagement rings.

Halo Setting

The large central gem is surrounded by a small stone halo. If all the stones are the same color, like a diamond, the central stone will look bigger than it really is.

Cathedral Setting

Instead of lying flat against your fingers, as is commonly known, the butt of the cathedral bends upwards in the ring setting. The centerpiece of the cathedral setting is placed between the bands extending from both sides. They are so slanted that they draw attention to gems.
