Claw or prong settings are the most common settings for gemstones of any description and not just diamonds; they are very popular when it comes to a setting for the solitaire or multi stone Engagement Ring Prong Setting and you will have undoubtedly seen them. However, do not make it a hurried choice without knowing much about the Diamond Prong Ring’s various aspects.

The ends of the prongs are usually rounded though they can be worked into delicate and decorative shapes to complete the Traditional Engagement Ring. These types of rings are known for more prominently displaying the diamond. The precious stone is upwardly shown on the thin finger of the women.

A prong setting will usually have small prongs in order to show off as much of the diamond as possible and to allow maximum amounts of light to enter the stone which will increase the sparkle and brilliance. They are usually the cheapest form of diamond setting as well because they are less complex while at the same time, they lend themselves to being cleaned much more easily.

You should ensure the prong setting is tight and the stone fits snugly; make sure none of the prongs are loose or left hanging as they will quickly snag clothing or become lose and you risk losing your diamond. The prongs ends can be of round, oval or V-shape. Avoid pointed ends as they can tear apart your clothes.

Depending on the design, smaller claws or larger ones are the choices you should be making. Another aspect that you must ensure is that maximum light falls on the diamond surface. You also should be aware that prong settings expose more of the diamond; while this is great for letting in more light and showing off the actual stone it does mean less protection is provided by the setting.

You have to walk a fine line between showing the diamond to its best effect but at the same time making sure it is protected and firmly held in place on the ring. The best way of assessing which setting and ring is most suitable for you is to try as many on as you can and see which are the most comfortable. You should think about your lifestyle as well and the level of wear and tear your diamond ring will be subjected to; tall, solitaire settings are more likely to suffer damage from being caught on clothes and other objects (including children when they arrive!) than a close, short set diamond more flush with your finger.

Compare their prices to know the current lower range of the prices before you settle for a suitable offer of the ring.
