Wedding Rings – As Personal As Your Love
Executive Summary About Wedding Rings By Stacy Fox
Jewelry Wedding Rings
Wedding Rings can be as personal as the couple they belong to. One way that wedding rings are set apart is by their settings.
The setting technique of a wedding ring determines how the diamond is featured. Here’s a rundown on the various types of settings for wedding rings.
- Prong settings – Prong settings are most often used to hold solitaires. The prongs fasten the jewel to the ring with a minimum of distraction. Round diamond rings are held in place by six prongs making them very secure. Other cuts, such as the Princess, are held in place by only four prongs. This means that if a prong is bent or damaged, the diamond can be lost.
- Bezel settings -In this setting, a collar of the metal that the ring is made of is attached to the top of the ring and encases the diamond.
- Channel settings – Channel settings are used to set small round diamonds around the outside of a ring.
- Pave setting – Pave literally means “pavement” and in this setting, the jeweler “paves” the ring with small diamonds. The diamonds cover as much of the surface area of the ring as possible. Each diamond has a full 58 facets despite weighing only a few points.
- Bead setting – the Bead setting is a coverage of small diamonds across a ring’s surface. But these stones can be further apart from one another and are not as expertly laid.
- Cluster setting – In the cluster setting, there are a number of diamonds artistically laid out.
- Flush setting – The Flush setting embeds the diamonds into the ring so that they are at, or just above, the surface of the metal. This is a popular setting for men’s wedding rings.
- Ballerina setting – One of the most romantic settings, the Ballerina features a large center stone flanked by a “tutu” of tapered baguettes.
Wedding rings can come in a variety of styles. Choose the setting that makes a bride beautiful.

Wedding Rings – How to Choose Your Wedding Ring
Executive Summary About Wedding Rings By Mircix Nuk
Wedding rings are highly symbolic pieces of jewelery, and it is likely you will want to wear your ring all the time, and for many years, so it is important to select the style and design of the ring very carefully.
You will need to think about the type of metal that will be suitable for your budget and lifestyle. The most popular precious metals are platinum, white gold and yellow gold.
When choosing the design of your wedding ring, think about your own personal style. If you are a bold, daring person then there are lots of modern, exciting designs now available. If you are creative, you may want to sketch out a design of your own, and then get it custom made by a goldsmith. It is still traditional to have matching rings, but you can add your own twists to the design, for example both wedding rings could be the same metal and pattern, but the bride could have the addition of some diamonds or another precious stone.
