The prong setting, sometimes called a claw setting, is the most commonly used gemstone setting and is especially popular for solitaire engagement rings.
You've seen prong settings. The diamond or other gem is inserted into three or more metal prongs that form a basket-like base, then the ends of the prongs are bent over and shaped so that they rest against the crown, just past the stone's girdle, holding it snugly in place.
The visible prong ends are often rounded, but they can be shaped into ovals, points, V-shapes, left flat or even formed into decorative shapes.
A prong setting can be tall, perching the diamond well above the ring's band, or it can be short, with the stone resting closer to your finger.
Evaluating Prong Settings
- The gemstone should be held snugly by the prongs, and not wobble around.
- The prongs should be formed so that the stone sits at an even height, not up or down on any side.
- Very thin, flat prongs can eventually break or wear away, putting the gemstone at risk.
- Hooked prongs, where the prong end forms an open loop before it touches the stone, will open up in time.
- Short prongs that do not offer enough contact with the gemstone will not hold it safely in place and are more likely to catch on clothing and other items.
- Prongs that are too large in proportion to the gemstone can overpower it, making the setting less attractive.
Trying on lots of rings is the best way to discover how different settings feel and look on your hand--and what a fun way to find out!
