Setting Types

Bezel Setting

Primarily known for its simplicity and durability. This setting style encases the surrounding outer edge of the diamond in a fine frame of metal (Gold or platinum).  When using white gold or platinum it can often give the diamond a larger appearance.  The bezel setting can accommodate every diamond shape as well.

Pave' Setting:

This style of diamond setting uses many very small diamonds set with tiny prongs to create an uninterrupted surface of brilliance and sparkle.

Prong Setting:

A traditional setting technique that gives maximum exposure of the diamond and minimizes the presence of metal (gold or platinum).  This allows more light to pass through the diamond, which only adds to its brilliance.

Tension Setting:

Tension setting is a modern and beautiful method of setting a diamond into a ring. In tension-set rings, the diamond is essentially "squeezed" at the girdle into a small groove cut into the tension mounting. The mountings are manufactured using precious metals that are especially hardened to grip the diamond without the necessity of prongs. The settings are designed to be very secure.
