Setting of diamond on engagement rings

Setting of a piece of precious stone on the top of engagement rings should be done in such a way that overall appearance of the ring gets an enhanced look and it creates a great impression on the onlooker. The jewelers are equipped with plenty of settings. Common amongst these are prong, bezel, pave, channel, tension and flush settings.

To avoid the confusion over choosing the right way to set the diamond, better consult your bride-to-be. She may clearly tell you about a specific setting she would prefer for the ring. In case, she does not give you any hint, then go through the pros and cons of each setting and ask the jeweler about it.

Compare the ring settings extensively keeping her life style in mind. However, each setting must provide adequate security to the diamond, which is the prime concern. The setting must also be such that it enhances the beauty and brilliance of the diamond and not diminish it.
