Pavé Setting
Pavé setting is an enchanting and luxurious choice for engagement and wedding rings. For a distinct and glamorous look, large center stone is usually complimented with smaller diamonds. Pavé is derived from the French word which means “pavement”. Pavé setting appears like a sparkling street paved with cobblestones with tight grouping of identically sized stones laid across a surface. In pavé setting metal is less visible with small diamonds encrusted on the metal surface resembling a solid single diamond or a surface of diamonds only and not metal band. To fill in the gaps between the stones and to separate those while holding the stones in place, tiny beads of metal are used which further accentuate the look.

Prong Setting
Prong Set Rings & Earrings  
One of the most popular and most common settings used in jewelry is prong setting. Whether you are buying an engagement ring, a wedding ring or an everyday wear, prong setting showcases the stones perfectly adding grace to your jewelry. In prong setting, the gem is inserted into metal prongs that form a basket-like base if we see form the top. This setting allows more light to enter the stone thus accentuating its brilliance and luster. Prong setting is also known as claw setting because it resembles a claw that clutches the stone tightly. This setting is most commonly used for gemstones and solitaire rings. Prong setting secures the stone letting the stone take center stage.
