Ring Settings & Styles
A setting is the part of a ring that holds the gemstone. It shapes the ring's whole character, but it also does practical work: keeping the stone secure, letting light in, and deciding how the ring feels and how much maintenance it needs. Read this pillar in order: start with ring settings explained for a plain-language tour of the main styles; then four claws versus six claws for the most common decision on a solitaire; and use the choosing-a-setting buying guide when you are ready to decide. Everything focuses on what you can actually see and feel, and what each choice means for long-term wear.
