When you set out to buy an engagement ring, knowing the terminology will help you narrow down your choices quickly and ensure that you find the engagement ring of your dreams. Many options are available for ring settings:

Prong Setting - Typically holds a solitaire diamond. Prongs are thin metal strands attached to the ring's center. They display the diamond higher up.
Luster Setting - Small diamonds are patterned in a circular or flower "cluster" at the center of the ring's head.
Bezel Setting - A strip of metal starts around the outside edge of the diamond and wraps until it attaches to the ring base.
Channel Settings - A ridged channel contains a row of round diamonds. The diamond's edges are not exposed.
Pave Setting - The entire exterior surface of the ring is covered with diamonds giving it a "paved" effect.
Flush Setting - The diamond, or row of diamonds, is mounted flush with the ring surface.

Find the right fit for ring settings by knowing your engagement ring terminology before you start shopping.
