18k Yellow Gold 6-Prong Solitaire Setting (For 0.40 - 0.50 ct Stone)

This solitaire ring mounting in 18-carat yellow gold (750/1000) is a "lance" type ring shank (tapered towards the stone). Featuring a 6-prong rectangular setting, it is designed to accommodate a round diamond or precious stone measuring 4.8 to 5.1 mm (approximately 0.40 to 0.50 carat). With a comfortable gold weight of ~3.10 grams, it is a solid and secure mounting, made in France.

The Timeless Classic: Lance Shank Solitaire

Looking for a ring mounting without a stone that combines robustness and elegance? This model is a benchmark in traditional jewelry.

• The "Lance" style: The ring shank is wide and thick at the base for strength, and tapers delicately into "palmettes" towards the setting. This creates a visual effect of lightness while ensuring exceptional durability (does not deform).

• The Illusion Setting: The basket is crafted to maximize the brilliance of your stone.

A Secure Setting Mounting (6 Prongs)

Why choose a 6-prong setting for your diamond ring to be set ?
The 6 rectangular prongs offer maximum security  for your stone. Unlike a 4-prong setting, if one moves, the stone remains held. In addition, the rectangular prongs allow for great tolerance during setting, facilitating the jeweler's work to perfectly secure a 0.40 to 0.50 carat diamond.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What stone size for this solitaire mounting?

This ring shank to be set is calibrated for a round stone (diamond, sapphire, ruby) measuring between 4.8 mm and 5.1 mm in diameter. In diamond equivalent, this corresponds to a weight of 0.40 carat to 0.50 carat.

What is a "Lance" ring shank?

It is a ring shape that is wide at the base of the finger and gradually tapers upwards towards the stone (like a spearhead). This allows for a very strong setting ring (~3.10g) without weighing down the aesthetics around the stone.

How to set a ring with this mounting?

This mounting is delivered "pre-polished". We advise you to entrust the ring setting to a professional setter or jeweler. The rectangular prongs are designed to be easily bent over the stone for a permanent hold.
