18K Yellow Gold Ring Settings

The Mounting Guide: From the Raw Piece to the Set Ring

Choosing a setting is the first step in creating a personal and unique piece of jewelry. It is the structure that will hold and enhance your precious stone. Our collection of 18-carat gold settings is designed to offer you the perfect base to set an exceptional ring.

Understanding the Ring's Head

The head of a ring is the most important part of the setting: it is the "head" or the "basket" specifically designed to hold the stone. The quality of the ring's head is essential for the security and showcasing of the gem.

The Art of Ring Setting

The setting of a ring is the action of fixing the stone into the head. There are several types of ring settings, but the most classic for a solitaire is the prong setting. Our 4-prong settings are a perfect example of a prong-set ring, a technique that maximizes the stone's brilliance.

Once the operation is complete, you get a magnificent set ring, ready to be worn.
