 | |  Prong Set Engagement Rings
In the style of ring known as the prong set diamond ring, the feature stone of the ring is held into place by a set of metal tines, or prongs, that extend from the band of the ring to prominently display the largest diamond above the surface of the band. The diamond prong ring has been seen throughout history, and both its origin and enduring popularity have to do with the fact that this is simply one of the most inarguably flattering ways of displaying a precious stone; the sparity of the setting combined with the raised position of the gem allows the greatest possible amount of light to pass through the stone and reveals most of its lovely faceted surface. Because the prong diamond ring employs one of the earliest gem setting techniques, it is not at all uncommon to see the diamond prong setting used in many different styles of very traditional engagement ring designs.

Variations on this theme include the prong set diamond band, which can be made with or without the larger "crowning" diamond in its prong setting, and will often include a number of prong set stones recessed into the band. For the crown stone, the most often seen styles are the 4 prong diamond ring, and the rather more secure 6 prong diamond ring. To beautifully display the crowinging glory of your engagement ring prong setting is definitely worth considering.
