How do you choose the perfect ring setting for your lab-grown diamond engagement ring?

Finding the ideal setting is a crucial part of your engagement ring journey. The prong setting, a classic choice, maximizes diamond visibility but requires maintenance. For everyday practicality, the bezel setting offers security by wrapping your stone in metal. The tension setting creates a floating illusion, while the invisible setting merges multiple stones to appear as one large gem. For added sparkle, consider channel settings with diamonds lined along the band or pavé settings with tiny prongs holding small stones. At Valquère, our handcrafted Antwerp jewelry reflects modern luxury, and our designers can create bespoke pieces that perfectly tell your unique love story.

Prong Setting

A classic among engagement ring settings, the prong setting universally flatters various diamond shapes. Dependent on the diamond size, you can opt for 4 to 10 prongs for a secure stone setting. Considered highly desirable due to its full stone visibility, a prong setting needs careful maintenance to prevent loosening of the prongs over time.

Bezel

Bezel setting, renowned for its everyday practicality, snugly wraps a thin metal rim around the stone. Providing a safe embrace for your diamond, it is a classic choice for engagement rings and other statement pieces.

Tension

The tension setting's allure lies in the illusion of a diamond suspended in the air. With laser precision, jewelers cut diminutive grooves on the band's sides measured to the diamond, allowing the stone to luxuriously rest, secured by the band's pressure.

Invisible

The invisible setting artfully amalgamates multiple stones, creating the impression of a singular, large gem. A complex setting, it perfectly aligns each stone’s grooves into a barely visible framework, ideal for princess cuts.

Other Settings: Channel and Pave

To enhance your statement engagement ring, consider adding side stones using channel or pave settings. With diamonds lined in a row on the band, the channel setting is perfect for adding glamour to your engagement rings. In contrast, pave settings use minute prongs to hold petite side stones, resulting in a brilliant sparkle that elevates the allure of the center stone.
