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.
