What to Know About Prong Settings for Natural Diamonds
Prong settings hold a natural diamond with carefully positioned metal claws while leaving much of the stone visible. The setting can use four, six or another number of prongs depending on the diamond shape, ring design and desired appearance. Because the metal contacts the stone at specific points rather than surrounding its entire edge, a prong setting gives clear visibility to the diamond's outline and faceting. Its versatility across round, oval, emerald, pear, radiant and other cuts has made the prong setting one of the most enduring choices for natural diamond engagement bands.
