The Different Diamond Settings Available to You


I understand that you might not have a lot of information about purchasing an engagement ring or a diamond ring. I also know that you have probably gone into a jeweler and found that the salesperson was not very helpful in giving you the information that you needed. I'm sure that you would also like to know what the different diamond settings available to you are, and how and what you should choose.

Before I start even discussing the different settings available I do recommend that you allocate a budget towards this diamond ring or engagement ring that you're trying to purchase. This will help you narrow down your search to what you are able to purchase seen as though there are so many different looks of diamond rings out there.

The most famous of all settings is the Bezel; it is also the earliest technique of attaching stones to a piece of jewelry. A bezel is a strip of metal bent into the shape and size of the stone and then soldered to the piece of jewelry.
The prong setting is the simplest and most largely used setting, because it uses the least amount of metal to hold the diamond in place. It also shows off the diamond beautifully in this setting. It is basically there to hold up a certain size of stone fixed to the base.

The channel setting is a method where the diamond stands suspended between two strips of metal called channels. Now the channel setting can come in different shapes. If you're using small diamonds, a linear line shape would be best. But, you could also use it in a U-shape as well. Again, the choice is up to you and how you want it to look.

A bead setting is a term used to set a diamond directly into the metal. The way they get the diamonds onto the metal is by drilling into the metal surface and then attaching the diamond onto it. They will then use a certain beading tool to push the diamond into the metal. The look of the diamond that will occur is called a "pave" diamond.

Now that you understand there are different types of settings available for you I am sure you are still nowhere closer to purchasing a diamond ring. This is why I recommend that you make use of the Internet to start searching in your price range for an engagement ring or diamond ring. You will be able to compare the different online jewelers instantly and not have the hassle of dealing with certain sales people.

Before you decide to purchase from an online jeweler you need to make sure that they are reputable, providing you peace of mind when making a purchase online with them. The things they need to offer you are things like a no questions asked money back guarantee if you're not happy with your purchase. They must offer you a certificate of authentication from the gemologist to prove that the diamond is a real diamond. I also recommend making use of a credit card to purchase the diamond ring because you can always phone your credit card company to reverse the transaction if you are not entirely satisfied.

Before purchasing any diamond ring, make sure that you have peace of mind because you do not want to have any regrets. After making a purchase, and if you do, you need to make sure that you have an option to opt out or return the diamond ring. I have managed to find an online jeweler that provides this type of guarantee and service when purchasing from them.
