⚡ Technical Summary of the Setting

Why choose this Solitaire Setting for your stone?

Choosing the solitaire setting is the most important step when creating a custom piece of jewelry. Our model was designed to combine aesthetics and security. The palmettes of the ring shank delicately rest on the upper girdle of the basket, offering a stable structure and an airy appearance to the stone.

Crafted from genuine 18k gold (750 thousandths), this ring guarantees a perfect hold for the gemstone. Unlike lighter settings, its 3.84 grams of solid gold allow for sufficiently thick prongs (1/2 thick round wire section) to securely hold a 14x10 mm stone long-term. 

How to set a ring with this setting?

Whether you are a professional or an individual wishing to remount a precious stone, this 18k yellow gold ring is delivered with a pre-polished finish. This means it is ready to be handed over to the setter.

The "basket setting" head with 4 prongs is ideal for highlighting the brilliance and color of an amethyst, a citrine, or an oval sapphire. The 4-prong mounting allows maximum light to pass under the stone, while ensuring a secure hold. It is the perfect base for anyone wishing to set a ring with a large stone.

FAQ: Your Questions about the Solitaire Setting to be Set

What type of stone can be set on this setting?

This ring is specifically sized for an oval stone of 14 x 10 mm. It is particularly recommended for colored stones (fine or precious). The robustness of its prongs allows for working with stones of a certain depth.

Can I have an old ring set on this setting?

Yes, that's the ideal use! If you have a family stone from an old piece of jewelry, this yellow gold solitaire setting modern and timeless will give it a brilliant second life.

Why choose 18k gold for a setting?

18k gold (750/1000) is the king alloy in jewelry. Composed of 75% pure gold, it offers ideal hardness for setting. Unlike 9k gold, it does not tarnish over time and ensures that the prongs of your solitaire will not become brittle over the years.
