Diamond Wedding Band Setting

Diamonds are glorious, beautiful and stunning. Once you’ve chosen diamonds for your wedding bands, then the fun part starts: choosing a setting. Without a setting your diamond would just be a loose diamond. Although the stone can count up to 90% of the cost of the ring, the setting is what defines its look. There are many types of diamond settings.

Some eye-catching diamond wedding bands settings are given below:-

Channel Setting: -

When purchasing wedding bands, you can never go wrong with the classic channel-setting diamond Wedding band. Channel set wedding bands are simple in design with traditional yet fashionable styling. Two bars of metal form a channel which holds several diamonds. The stones are suspended in that channel giving the appearance that they are floating. Channel setting offers an elegant and distinctive appearance. Channel set wedding bands can give a married couple something special to pick from a modern twist.

Pave Setting:

Nowadays pave diamond wedding bands are in trend. Pave settings use numerous small diamonds put together in a cluster with little or no metal showing. Settings like this can be full pave or half pave. Most people like a full pave setting because it looks more impressive and elegant, but prefer the half pave setting, as the small diamonds rub less against the other fingers. Pave set diamond wedding bands is an affordable option for those looking for a lot of sparkle on their wedding bands.

Prong Setting: -

The prong setting is also called a claw setting. The most common setting is with four or six prongs. In this setting, very thin wires of gold or platinum are used to hold the diamond securely in place that form a basket-like base, and then the ends of the wires are bent over and shaped so that they rest against the crown. Prong settings are easy to make, so they are usually less expensive than other settings.

Invisible Setting:-

It is a special form of wedding band in which the diamond are set so artfully that no metal is visible. Invisible set wedding band use smaller, less costly and less valuable diamonds making the ring cheaper. Princess cut diamonds are most commonly used in this type of setting. If you want something trendy and unique then invisible set wedding band can be your choice.

Bezel setting: -

A bezel setting is a setting style where the metal rim encircles the sides of a diamond and extends slightly above it. Bezels set wedding bands are perfect for active lifestyles. Bezel settings protect your diamond from getting scratched as the metal rim holds the diamond strongly.
