DIAMOND SETTINGS
Once a diamond has been chosen, cut and shaped, it needs a setting. The right setting ensures your diamond will be showcased in all its glory, so understanding the different types of settings is important.
Settings can enhance certain features of the diamond, which further adds to their importance.
For instance, a claw setting allows the stone to take a prominent position, which creates a dramatic effect and the appearance of a larger diamond.
Some of the most commonly used diamond settings in the jewellery world are:
CLAW SETTING
This is the most popular type of setting. It typically has 4 or 6 prongs and requires aminimal amount of metal, meaning there is more area for light to pass through. The claw setting is usually found in engagement rings.
BEZEL SETTING
A bezel setting enhances the size of the diamond, giving it a larger appearance. It’s characterised by a secure metal rim around the diamond, which can partly hide the stone; for this reason, it’s best suited for larger diamonds.
PAVE SETTING
Another popular setting. The pave style is used for small stones, which are placed close together, hiding the metal underneath. This type of setting is perfect to highlight a central stone and enhance the brilliance of the smaller diamonds surrounding it.
BAR SETTING
In this setting, a bar is used to separate two diamonds in a band. This style is suitable for both classic or modern aesthetics and is also found in engagement and wedding rings.
GYPSY SETTING
In a gypsy setting, the diamond is inserted into the metal, becoming fush with the surface. There are no prongs, which leads to a smooth look.
