Engagement ring settings
Engagement rings are a timeless symbol of commitment and love between people. The final look will depend on the choice of the cut, shape and surroundings. The surrounding part of the ring is called the setting and this part makes up the bulk of the ring. It is the settings job to fit snuggly to the finger and to carry the gemstone which should be the focus point of the ring.
Many settings are designed to draw focus to a central point which will usually be a diamond.
Some of the more modern designs have more prominence on the setting and less on the gem, an example would be the high claw four prong setting which can look stunning in platinum. A setting is the base for your ring so make sure you know what you want it to do and how you want it to look.
