Setting

Some settings are more appropriate than others for a specific diamond shape, but personal taste is most important.

Prong
Four to six various-shaped prongs secure the diamond.
Channel
A channel setting allows stones to be set side by side.
Bezel
A rim holds the stone and completely surrounds the gem.
Tension
Diamond is held in place from the pressure of the band's metal.
Illusion
Intricate setting surrounds the stone, making it appear larger.
