What type of setting do I choose (discuss difference between prong, bezel and channel set?
Your choice of setting should be determined not only by the appearance of your ring but also by your lifestyle. Bezel set (where the stone is set into a continuous frame of metal) is a setting which provides the most protection to the stone. This type of setting is more robust and tends to last better under normal wear and tear circumstances. If for example you enjoy wearing your ring whilst gardening, or partaking in physical activities such as sports, you may want to seriously consider a bezel set over a prong setting. Prong settings are preferred in rings where you wish to show your diamond more prominently. In prong setting the diamond is held up higher in the rings, giving it the appearance of being larger.
