Common Prong

The common prong setting showcases the round or fancy cut using a soft, sculpted edge. We use it with stones starting at .08 carats and larger, and we can make it with two or four prongs per stone.

Bar

Similar to the common prong, accenting the stones' shapes. A solid bar crosses the ring to encase and anchor the stones. We use it mostly with stones from.08 carats and larger.

Channel

Classic, bold and strong. Looks great stacked with bands of different colors and sizes. Most often used with stones weighing from .-01 carats and up to .20 carats.

Pave

A setting in which a tiny hole is drilled into the metal surface, creating a micro-depression. The stone is set and a tiny chisel is used to push a bit of meal onto and over its edge. A beading tool is used to complete the process by shaping, Excess metal is cut away.
