- Four Prong - This is a popular setting style and allows the maximum amount of light to shine through the diamond. Prongs, or claws, are bent over and evenly spaced around the center stone. This setting allows for different stone shapes
- Six Prong - offers more support than the four prong
- Multiple Prong - reveals more of the diamond with more security.
- Full Bezel - The center stone is set deep and is fully encircled by metal. Thus, this offers maximum protection to the stone. A full bezel can accommodate any gemstone shape and is used in many kinds of jewelry.
- Semi-Bezel - The semi-bezel shows off more of the diamond, while still protecting it. Light can enter through more angles than in the full bezel setting.
- Flush Set - with the flush setting, the center stone is beneath the band, and is protected from wear.
- Pave Set - Stones are set closely together, separated by little beads of metal. Pave set accent stones can enhance a modest center stone. Traditionally, pave refers to a field or expanded area of beaded metal and stones.
- Millegrained Pave - Millegraining gives a metal edge a beaded texture and is the perfect complement to pave-set diamonds. As opposed to a smooth metal edge, the light which reflects off does not compete with the sparkle of the diamonds. Ideal for luxury and antique-style engagement rings.
