Types of Stone Setting Techniques
1. Prong Setting (Best for Diamonds & Precious Stones)
This is the typical engagement ring setting. The prongs are simply small metal claws that grip the stone tightly.
- Four-Prong Setting – The four-prong design will maximize brilliancy by permitting light to enter the stone from under the center.
- Six-Prong Setting – The six-prong setting provides extra security for a high-value stone.
- V-Prong Setting – Placed in a V-shape, the prongs become very strong by giving additional strength and support to pointed gemstones like the marquise, pear, or princess cuts.
2. Bezel Setting (Best for Everyday Wear & Soft Gemstones)
The bezel setting encircles the stone with a very thin rim of metal around the circumference, providing the best security and protection for a stone.
- Full Bezel – Provides complete surrounding of the gemstone for ultimate durability.
- Partial Bezel- The partial setting allows some freedom at the edges, which allows for more brilliancy.
- Good for soft stones such as opal, turquoise, and emeralds.
Fun Fact: The bezel setting was once regarded as a standard feature of jewelry from the ancient Egyptian and Roman periods!
3. Channel Setting. Best for wedding bands and eternity rings.
Gemstones are set between two strips of metal, producing a smooth, modern look without prongs.
- Ideal for smaller diamonds & accent stones
- Common in wedding bands, bracelets, and eternity rings
- Protects the edges of gemstones from damage
4. Pave Setting. Best for maximizing sparkle.
Here, tiny gemstones are closely set together with minimal metal visibility, creating a dazzling, continuous sparkle.
- Micro-Pavé Setting – Uses very small stones for a delicate look
- French Pavé Setting – Creates extra reflections for brilliance
- Commonly seen in engagement rings, halo settings, and earrings
5. Tension Setting. Best for a modern floating effect.
The stone is held in place by the pressure of the metal band for a truly unique, “floating” appearance.
- Modern & minimalist aesthetic
- Works best with durable stones like diamonds, sapphires & rubies
- Requires very high precision craftsmanship
