A
diamond ring is an expensive item, and no one could even imagine losing
diamond in an
engagement ring. To avoid the anxiety, you should either choose a
diamond ring setting that is less prone to make the
gem fall off, or take off the
ring when doing something active.
Not all
settings are equally sturdy, so if yours is not strong enough to withstand a small bump, it can knock the
gemstone out of the mounting. If one or more
gemstones are missing from the
diamond ring, it will be quite disastrous. Yet it can happen especially if the
accent or
side stones are small and depending on the
setting.
You can select a
diamond ring in numerous
settings. It is said that
pave set diamonds, invisible set
diamonds, and inlaid
gems are more susceptible to damages and accidental falls. On the other hand, the one in which
metal prongs hold the
gemstone in place is considered the most secure
setting, after the
bezel setting, of course.
That does not mean these
settings are hundred percent sure to protect the
diamond mounted or arranged in the
ring band. With wear and tear, the
metal claws are subject to bend and loosen the
gem and that may cause it to fall off the next time it is bumped. All that means care is of utmost importance to keep the
diamond jewelry safe.
