8 Prong Diamond Setting. Chunkier solitaire setting overwhelms the diamond. Although this setting is an excellent choice for large diamond rings this number of prongs is rarely required when it comes to earrings.
An eight-prong setting is extremely secure and accentuates the roundness of the center stone. Slim band completes the look of this special piece. Lovingly handcrafted these 8-Prong Martini Basket Diamond Earrings provide style and security for your beautiful diamonds.
In this classic setting two or more prongs wrap around the crown of a stone to secure it in place.
You didnt know so much went into putting a diamond on a ring did you. The diamonds or other gemstones are set closely together into the grooves of the channel and decorate the sides of the band or the entire band. The prong setting maximizes this effect allowing optimum light reflection. Many types of settings have pave or pronged set side diamonds where only the top part of the diamond is visible but tension set diamonds give you the ability to see the entire diamond.
