Types of Diamond Setting
It really makes sense to choose the diamond you want before you choose the setting, as it should entirely complement the stone. With the diamond, choose a shape and cut carefully as it will usually lead you naturally to a setting that is most suitable to achieve the look you desire.
If you are looking for a standard setting for a larger stone, then a claw setting is usually wise. Although claws can be decorative (forming shapes or featuring channels for example), the standard form is four or six claw groups for single stones. They hold the diamond at intervals around the circular girdle, keeping it securely in place.
On an eternity ring, four claw settings can be used around the circumference, or common prongs can be utilised, where the stones ‘share’ claws. If the stone is a different shape like a pear, additional claws can be used at intervals including a V-shape at the point, to protect it (and the wearer!) from damage.
Marlows have decades of knowledge about what makes the perfect setting in the perfect ring and are always on hand to advise you and show you examples so that you can make an informed choice when you but a diamond ring.
