Types of wedding ring settings

In order to make the diamond or the gemstone of the wedding ring glitter and sparkle with beauty and splendor, the couple must pay attention to the type of setting chosen for the ring.




Not only the stone of the wedding ring is capable of providing the couple with a stunning unique and original beautiful look, but the type of setting too. Actually, the final capacity of the stone’s brilliance is closely related to the type of setting chosen for the wedding ring.

So, in order to make the right choice, you must know what the main types of wedding ring settings are. Perhaps a certain style of wedding ring setting is not quite suitable for a lady or for a man, and that is why is important to do your little research and find out what styles of wedding ring settings are available out there for both you and your partner’s personal style.

The setting of a diamond wedding ring refers to the mountings that holds the stone or attaches it to the band of the ring. The way these mountains hold the stone in or above the ring can change completely the final appearance of the wedding ring.

The setting is able to emphasize the glitter and the sparkle of the stone or simply shadow it. Through the wedding ring a happy couple can not only express the sacral bound that is now officially made public but also the personal style, the preferences, the individuality and the vision or the creativity and the lifestyle of each bride and groom in part.

The happy couple can also choose the wedding ring setting according to the formality, style or character and theme of the wedding or according to their personal hobbies and favorite styles. There are traditional types of wedding ring settings, antique or classic types of wedding ring settings or modern and trendy wedding ring settings.

One must be careful though with the type of setting chosen, because a high, imposing, delicate and soft setting can be easily damaged, while a too tiny one can simply hide the beauty of the stone. But let us show you the main types of wedding ring settings in order to help you chose more wisely and more efficient or easy.

The prong setting is popular among solitaire diamond wedding rings. This type of setting provides the stone with more light and therefore with more chances of sparkling and also with easier ways for cleaning the stone.

The bar setting is more suitable for highlighting the metal of the band, but it will definitely not affect the brilliance of the stone as a bezel setting usually does. The bezel setting is a ring of metal that wraps the diamond in order to hold it in place. This type of setting is wonderful for couples who live and active life because it can protect the stone much better. The stone looks even bigger within the bezel set and it is in most cases pretty expensive.

The flush setting is more modern and it can also protect more the stone and provide the wearer with a very sleek, elegant and unique look.

The tension setting is another modern alternative to classical wedding rings, where the stone simply floats in the midair. They can be pretty expensive too.

The channel settings are popular for simple and clean wedding rings like eternity rings. The invisible setting, the scatter setting, the cluster setting and the pave settings are other famous types that a couple can choose from.
