- The Stone will account for 75-90% of the overall cost of the ring.
- The Setting holds the center stone. A strong precious metal is imperative
in securing your investment.
- The Band will endure the most wear over time since it's in constant contact
with the fingers and everything that the hand touches.
- The Stamp indicates the type and purity of the metal. All rings must have
this.

|
Prong
The setting that lets the stone be the hero. It's visible from all sides for maximum
sparkle.
|
|
|
Cathedral/Contour
Similar to prong but with rising slopes to protect the stone on two sides. Elegant,
but a little more secure.
|
|
|
|
Channel
Stones sit between two parallels of metal. Visible, but not prominent. Allows the
metal and stone to each have their own distinction.
|
|
|
|
Bar
Harkens to the style and class of a bygone era. Features a thin metal bar that separates
each stone but leaves the sides open to bring in light.
|
|
|
|
Bezel
Timeless. A classic setting that draws attention to the stone, and away from itself,
by framing it in precious metal.
|
|
|
|
Pavé
Sophisticated, but subtle. Tiny metal beads hold each stone in its own discreet
setting.
|
|
|
|
Tension
This setting grips the stone with 65-95 pounds of pressure, creating the illusion
that the stone is hovering in space.
|
|
|
|
Flush
A high-impact, low-stress setting. Offers the security of small stones inside tiny
holes.
