Types of Solitaire Diamond Settings

There are many settings to consider when purchasing the perfect solitaire diamond jewel. The first thing you need to consider is the shape of diamond you want the jewel to be set with as this will determine the style of setting. Popular setting styles include prongs, rub over, cathedral and tension. By far the most popular and traditional out of those styles is the prong setting, where claws of metal secure the stone in place – like small wires that bind the stone. The prongs are welded to the band to ensure complete safety. The second popular choice is a modern rub over setting where a rim of metal is arched around the stone so it completely surrounds the diamond. This style is an ideal choice for busy, active lifestyles.
