The diamond setting ideally ensures that the gemstones are set or mounted securely into the metal band. The chief role played by the diamond setting is to clasp the rock tightly on the ring.\u003Cstrong>\u003Cbr>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">What Are the Different Types of Diamond Settings?\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">With a diverse range in the types of diamond settings, the overall aesthetic and beauty of an \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings\" >engagement ring setting\u003C/a>\u003C/span> or any diamond band of your choice can be easily augmented. Listed below are some of the most popular and striking types of diamond settings.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Prong Setting\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The most adored and classic 'Prong setting' usually has two or more prongs draped around the crown to hold the stone. The mounting style of a prong setting reduces the quantity of metal used; this lets more light pass through the diamond. Ideally, a \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/14kt-white-gold-four-prong-solitaire-diamond-ring-afdre11200-3627\" >ring with four prongs\u003C/a>\u003C/span> is the preferred setting for delicate cut diamonds like princess diamonds.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/diamond_setting/revamped/image-1.webp\" alt=\"Prong Setting\" width=\"1152\" height=\"800\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Usually, the diamond setting has little metal holders or prongs that tightly clasp the \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/lab-diamond-rings\" >\u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">diamond to the ring\u003C/span>\u003C/a>. The prong setting is famous for its high exposure of the solitaire stone that does not cover up the diamond's beauty behind any extra surface.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Hence, this allows the light to shine through the gemstone and elegantly reflect for the viewer to admire. For example, the Quinn \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/solitaire-engagement-rings\" >Solitaire Diamond Ring\u003C/a>\u003C/span> from the Friendly Diamonds’ collection is the ideal prong setting ring as it sparkles with subtle elegance and charm.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Shared Prong Setting\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">As explained in the prong setting segment, the prongs typically cling around the crown of a stone to hold it in place. It aims to reduce metal use and allow more light passage through the center stone.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The prongs placed in the middle of two diamond stones are referred to as shared prongs. These metal claws are affixed in the middle of two diamond stones as a set of two prongs hold onto the diamond gems.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Ideally, in a shared prong setting the two diamonds which are placed beside each other have prongs that are positioned in such a way that it holds a very small part of the stone. This leaves a large part of the diamond surface exposed which allows reflection of light to flow through the stone giving it a radiant and graceful appeal.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">To better understand the shared prong setting, you may check out the Friendly Diamond \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/wedding-rings/eternity-rings\" >eternity bands\u003C/a>\u003C/span> range. The sparkling highlights of the rings are nothing less than a show-stopper at your next event.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Pavé Setting\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The pavé ring setting features smaller diamonds embedded across the ring's band and goes all the way to the center diamond. This type of diamond setting is of two types and hence, can be easily confused, i.e. the pavé and the micro pavé setting.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The term pavé includes the various sizes of the gem that is embedded in the band while in a micro pavé setting there are numerous stones with the same size and are often much smaller in carat weight than diamonds used in a pavé.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/diamond_setting/revamped/image-2.webp\" alt=\"Pavé Setting\" width=\"1152\" height=\"800\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/14kt-white-gold-dua-side-stone-knife-edge-diamond-ring-afdre22800-4277\" >Dua Side Stone Knife Edge Diamond Ring\u003C/a>\u003C/span> available at Friendly Diamonds is a ring crafted with fine diamonds flowing luxuriously on either side of the center stone; this ring has two layers of pavé set diamonds.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Halo Setting\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The beauty of the unique \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/halo-engagement-rings\" >halo setting\u003C/a>\u003C/span> is that it encompasses a set of small accent stones, similar to pavé settings, which borders the larger center stone. On top of that, halo settings are also versatile settings that pair well with all diamond shapes. For example, a cushion-cut stone can be embellished with a round halo.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/diamond_setting/revamped/image.webp\" alt=\"Halo Setting\" width=\"1152\" height=\"800\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/halo-engagement-rings\" >SHOP halo engagement rings\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Essentially, the halo setting is a perk to those who wish their center solitaire to look much bigger and sparkling. \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/14kt-white-gold-elle-classic-halo-diamond-ring-afdre9400-3727\" >\u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">Elle Classic Halo Diamond Ring\u003C/span>\u003C/a> from the Friendly Diamonds inventory is the classic example of the gorgeous halo setting where smaller diamond accents surround a center diamond.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Bezel Setting\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">A bezel setting showcases a metal rim that holds the diamond or gemstone from its girdle. This type of diamond setting ensures that the diamond is securely held in place.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, the protective coverage created by the metal rim of the bezel diamond setting is a right pick for those with an active lifestyle. All the more, being a traditional and popular design, the bezel setting will never go out of style.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/diamond_setting/revamped/image-4.webp\" alt=\"Bezel Setting\" width=\"1152\" height=\"800\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The bezel setting has an astounding flexible quality wherein the metal holding the diamond molds in to capture the shape and pattern of the center stone. The \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/14kt-white-gold-bezel-set-solitaire-diamond-ring-afdre11600-3647\" >Bezel Set Solitaire Diamond Ring\u003C/a>\u003C/span> is a sleek and beautiful Friendly Diamonds ring that is just the perfect ring for your daily wear.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Channel Setting\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The channel setting flaunts an exceptional flow of little diamonds on the band, which are held securely in the middle of two metal walls. At the same time, in this type of diamond setting, one can observe that the diamonds are placed beside each other with no metal barrier in between them.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/diamond_setting/revamped/image-5.webp\" alt=\"Channel Setting\" width=\"1152\" height=\"818\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, in a channel setting which is also one of the most secure settings, the diamond is firmly set in the band as it is held on either side of the vertical metal walls.
