The
classic prong setting is one of the best
ring settings for princess cut diamond. It uses regularly spaced
prongs or claws that attach to the sides of the
diamond for holding it on the ring.
One of its advantages is that the
prongs in no way blocks light and allow it to pass through the ring sufficiently giving rise to its added sparkle. A
prong setting can clamp onto the sides of the
princess cut diamond and hold it securely on top of the ring. Among the
prongs, a V-shaped prong is commonly used for securing
princess cut diamonds on a ring.
Another commonly used
princess cut diamond ring settings is the three stone
setting. This
ring setting consists of the
center stone held by two larger accent stones. The
three-prong setting relies on the use of prongs along with the side accent stones to firmly hold the
princess cut diamond and increase its sparkle. Channel
settings are also popular for holding a
princess cut diamond in the ring mounting. The two channels can securely hold a
princess cut diamond discreetly.
