Questions About Tension Set Diamonds
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A channel diamond setting refers to a diamond gemstone ring with a specific setting called a channel. It is a deep groove carved into the metal band. A jewelry maker sets diamond accent stones into the setting so they are level with the shank. You'll find a collection of diamond gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An illusion diamond setting helps to enhance the size of the stone. The precious metal the ring is made from is intricately designed around the diamond. From a distance, this makes the diamond itself appear much larger. Shop a collection of illusion-set diamonds from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A flower set diamond is a setting where a diamond is surrounded by a smaller cluster of diamonds, giving the appearance of a flower. Flower set diamonds are a popular choice to add more sparkle and increase the size of a piece. Browse an array of flower set diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    One of the best settings for oval diamonds is the prong. The most frequent and classic setting type, it exposes the majority of the diamond and lets more light penetrate, increasing its brightness and shine.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    The best setting for a solitaire diamond is the prong setting. In such a setting, the stone is held in place with a minimal amount of metal allowing more light to pass through the diamond resulting in added brilliance. Find a collection of solitaire diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    Whether Cartier will set a loose diamond depends on the circumstances. If you purchased a piece of Cartier diamond jewelry and the stone has come loose, contact customer service for assistance with repairs. Cartier will usually not place a loose diamond that you purchased elsewhere in one of their settings. Find a wide range of Cartier diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best setting for a cushion-cut diamond depends on personal preference. The cushion cut is often referred to as a pillow cut due to its square or rectangular shape with rounded edges. This stone cut comprises 58 facets, like brilliant stones. The cushion cut has been popular since the 18th century. Browse a collection of cushion-cut diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Most experts agree that a prong setting is best for diamond stud earrings. Prongs help keep diamonds securely in place. Three-prong settings allow for more of the diamond to remain visible, while four-prong settings may be slightly more secure. For diamond stud earrings with weights of 2 carats or more, a six- or eight-prong setting can increase stability and security. Explore a large selection of diamond stud earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    There is no single best setting for a diamond tennis necklace. You can find tennis chains with both prong and bezel settings, and both types can keep diamonds secure when they are well crafted. The biggest difference is that full bezel settings encircle the gemstones, while prongs hug the stones with three or four metal elements, leaving most of their edges visible. Feel free to choose the type of setting that appeals most to you. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of diamond tennis necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    A marquise-cut diamond looks great in a variety of settings, but you should choose one that protects the center stone. Some of the top marquise diamond ring settings are bezel, prong and halo. Find a variety of marquise-cut diamond rings on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best setting for an emerald-cut diamond is a matter of personal preference. For emerald-cut diamonds, solitaire and pavé settings are popular. The emerald cut comprises 58 facets and truncated corners on a rectangular step-cut stone. The flat pavilion of an emerald-cut diamond can magnify the stone’s imperfections, so the gem’s clarity is key. Initially a popular cut for emeralds only, it is now used on other precious stones, but the name has come to define the style. Find antique and vintage emerald-cut diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The difference between pavé and channel set diamonds is the setting. On pavé jewelry, tiny beads or prongs hold the individual gemstones in place. Channel settings are deep grooves that hold diamonds, eliminating the need for prongs or beads. Shop a large collection of diamond gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
