Engagement ring thoughts/opinions

Sarah, on January 23, 2022 at 10:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 3
Hello all!!
I am reaching out for some opinions/thoughts on the setting of my engagement ring. I helped my fiancé pick out the ring, but when I looked at the ring originally the prongs were in the same u shape they are now, but I assumed the prongs would be tightened to be fit snug to the sides of the diamond. For a while I thought it was an error on the jewelers part, but I later assumed that it is simply the style of the setting. I have never seen a style setting like this one, so for a while I was unhappy with it because it looks so much different than the standard settings shaped more in a V. I do like the space because it makes it really easy to clean the sides and under the diamond! I’m mostly curious of other peoples thoughts on it. Maybe it’s meant to hold a bigger diamond? Not sure if I’d go to change it, we got married in 2020 and it’s soldered together with my wedding band. There are days I love it, but often I feel self conscious about the ring. I know it doesn’t matter what other people think, but is this an odd way to set a diamond? Does anyone have something similar? Would mostly appreciate some assurance that this style does look normal and I’m just overthinking? Thank you!!

    I’d take the ring to another jeweler to make sure the diamond is set properly. I like the more u shape setting(although I’ve never seen one before yours), but the pictures make it look like the diamond isn’t set level inside the prongs—which makes one prong look longer than the others.


    But it’s a gorgeous set. I love a good solitaire on a plain gold band.

    If you aren't too fond of the prong setting, I would definitely look into having this changed as it sounds to me you aren't happy with the round/tab style prong setting and want something more claw like - this article will illustrate what I mean by different prong settings.

    This is a pretty easy fix and the jeweller should be able to do this without affecting the rest of the ring.

    If in doubt, you can always go to another jeweller to get their opinion.
