Ring shopping can be intimidating, and choosing the perfect ring setting is a big decision. We're here at Mervis Diamond Importers to help you determine the setting that best suits the style of your special someone.

Diamond Ring Setting Styles

To make ring shopping easier for you, here are the different types of diamond ring settings broken down by style preference.

Simple Ring Settings

This is an important question to ask when choosing a ring- is she looking for a clean, sleek design, or something more eye-catching and intricate? For a simple, clean design, we recommend:
  • Classic Prong Setting
  • Cathedral Setting
  • Tension Setting
  • Bezel Setting

Sophisticated Ring Settings

Each of these options enhances the main centerstone and requires high gemstone quality. The prong and cathedral settings emphasize the diamond more to make it stand out, while the bezel setting is more refined. If she is interested in a sleek and modern style, the unique tension setting is an ideal match. If she is excited by sophisticated designs, we suggest:
  • Split-Shank Setting
  • Halo Setting
  • Pave Setting
  • Cluster Setting
These settings offer multiple diamonds or gemstones and are known to sparkle in the light. You may even combine the options above to have a pave, split-shank setting and feature many diamonds along with an intricate band structure. The diamonds encircling the main centerstone of the halo setting make the centerstone pop, and this design continues to increase in popularity. Furthermore, the multitude of gemstones featured in the cluster setting create a special, one-of-a-kind appearance.

Classic Ring Settings

Additionally, you will need to consider the statement she wants the ring to make. If she is dreaming of a timeless design, we recommend:
  • Prong Setting
  • Cathedral Setting
  • Split-Shank Setting
  • Antique Setting

Unique Ring Settings

However, if she is more attracted to a modern, unique ring, we propose:
  • Tension Setting
  • East-West Setting
  • Halo Setting

Custom Designs Ring Settings

Considering your own creation? While custom designs can work with many settings, some offer more options than others. These ring settings work well for customization because of the multitude of gemstones involved in the design:
  • Halo Setting
  • Cluster Setting
  • Pave Setting
