Prong Set Engagement Rings

5 Easy Steps To Style Your Own Prong Set Engagement Rings

Elegant and defining sheer grace the Prong Set Engagement Rings are the most widely crafted pieces today. The best way to hold a stone like the diamond that is a charming and timeless is in a prong setting that has a secure clasp and crisp hold. One of the most widespread types of setting for a gemstone or a diamond is the prong or claw style setting. Almost all jewelry pieces be it engagement rings, wedding rings, pendants, or splendid diamond earrings are crafted in prong setting for a better and clear hold. Prongs are thin tiny metal claws which are bent and rested on the crown of diamond to hold it firmly. In this classic setting, two or more prongs swathe around the crown of a stone to secure it in place. This mounting style curtails the amount of metal used, allowing more light to pass through a diamond or gemstone. To augment this effect, the center stone is at times elevated above the shank, which gives it a larger, more prominent look. In this setting, the prongs are enclosed to the central setting of a ring, commonly known as the head or basket. Each prong extends upward and outward from the head, spanning over the precious stone to form a secure grip. This delicate balancing act is done by using thin wires of gold or platinum (the prongs) that hold the rock securely in place. In an engagement ring with prongs, they are placed evenly at the key points in such a way that they hold the stone at four corners, or five or even at times six points and give the center diamond of the ring a spectacular effect. Also, it should be made certain that the prong is neither too taut (as this creates pressure on the precious gem) nor it should be too loose (as it may cause the diamond or gemstone to fall). A prong setting places importance on the diamond and not the metal holding it and is most commonly used to hold solitaire diamond rings.
