Choosing a Setting for Your Gold Diamond Ring

So you have already decided that it is a gold diamond ring for a gold wedding ring that you want to get your girlfriend to propose to her, well then it is just a matter of picking out the ring, making sure that it is one she is going to love of course. There are a few different decisions that you are going to have to make here in terms of the design of the ring, one of the most important being the setting that you choose.

If you want to choose a gold diamond ring, the setting is one of the factors that are going to have the biggest effect on the overall look of the ring. Here are the main settings that you have to choose from.

Prong

One of the most popular gold diamond ring settings is the prong setting. This is an especially popular setting for the solitaire rings because it is a sturdy way to hold a diamond in place and you will not have to worry about it falling out. The problem with the prong or claw setting as it is also referred to, is that it can catch on clothing and so you may not find this ideal for a gold diamond ring.



Bezel

Then there is the bezel setting which you may be interested in, and in this setting a metal band encircles a circular diamond, to hold it in place. The main reason that people prefer this setting is because it offers durability and reliability, and you are pretty much guaranteed that the diamond is not going to fall out.

However, a lot of women do not like this look because it does not make the diamond stand out and look as pilliant as it could.

Pave

Another very popular choice of setting for a gold diamond ring is the pave setting. These settings are very popular for a few reasons, but more than anything it is because they have an exquisite elegance and beauty to them. Their design covers the entire surface of the ring with gems, so they are very elegant and expensive looking.

This is not going to be the right choice of setting however if your girl wants something simpler, and in that case you may want to stick with something like the prong setting. You also want to choose the setting that is going to best showcase the rest of the ring.
