Prong setting

The prong setting is the most common type of setting, with multiple thin metal prongs holding the diamond in place.

The number of prongs - four, six, eight, etc. - affects the silhouette of the diamond, so they are used depending on the impression of the design.

This method is used to best expose the diamond's beautiful proportions while maximizing light transmission.

Bezel setting

A bezel setting is a way to surround a diamond with a metal edge to give it stability.

The rim tightly encases the diamond, protecting it from shocks and external influences.

It is also a secure stone setting method as it is less likely to get caught during use.

This stone setting method gives a simple and modern impression.

Channel setting

The channel setting is a method of setting diamonds in a straight line by hand carving grooves into the setting area.

The carved grooves allow the diamonds to sparkle and shine, making this a stone setting that shines with handiwork.

There is no metal between adjacent diamonds, giving the stone a smooth, polished appearance.

It is especially used when multiple melee diamonds need to be set in a continuous line.

Pavé Setting

Pavé setting is a method of setting diamonds in a closely spaced fashion.

Pavé means cobblestone in French.

As the name suggests, the prongs are small and are completely covered with diamonds, creating a luxurious setting that gives the entire jewelry a dense sparkle .
