In regular 
ring settings, 
metal claws, 
metal channels, or 
metal beads are used to set a 
gem in a 
ring band. All 
diamond ring settings are appealing, but that is even more so on a 
ring featuring an invisible setting. In an invisible set 
ring, the center stone is set in a way that the 
metal is not easily visible, at least when you view it from the top. In other words, the 
metal used to secure or set the 
gem is hidden beneath it.
 
 
Invisible set 
rings have 
square cut gemstones always, as that 
shape is required to make the 
setting work. Since a 
square cut stone is mandatory here, you are likely to find an invisible set 
diamond ring that features 
princess cut diamonds at the center.
Look at square or a 
princess cut invisible set 
diamond rings from the top, and

 you are likely to see the 
gemstones set flush with each other. It takes a skilled jewelry 
designer and so much time and cost to achieve the 
setting with less visible 
metal. All that work that goes into the 
setting contributes to the rarity of invisible set 
rings.
