Reconstruction of prongs and setting
The stones adorning your jewelry are precious, both aesthetically and emotionally. To ensure their longevity and brilliance, a setting in good condition is essential . At Flamme en rose , we offer a specialized prong repair and setting adjustment service to preserve your diamonds and precious stones in optimal condition, year after year.
Crimping verification and maintenance
In jewelry, each stone is showcased through a specific type of setting : prong, bezel, channel, pavé, or in-stone. These settings should be checked regularly , as the metal can wear or deform over time and with everyday wear and tear. It's not always easy to detect wear on prongs or weakness in the metal around a bezel setting with the naked eye. That's why Flamme en rose offers a free assessment of the setting condition of your engagement ring, solitaire ring, or any other piece of jewelry adorned with precious or semi-precious stones.
We recommend having your setting checked once a year , especially for rings with a center diamond, or immediately after a significant impact. A twist in the metal or a micro-crack in the stone can compromise its stability. During your visit, our jewelers will assess whether the prongs need to be re-pegged or the setting tightened . We will provide you with a clear and immediate estimate.
Reconstruction of prongs and selection of the appropriate setting
The prong setting is one of the most common, especially for engagement rings and solitaires. However, this type of setting is more susceptible to damage: the prongs protrude from the setting and can wear out more quickly than other types of settings. When the prongs become too thin or worn, we rebuild them by adding metal to strengthen them. If they are too damaged, we perform a complete prong replacement to ensure the stone is held securely.
The bezel setting , on the other hand, completely encloses the stone with metal. While it slightly conceals the stone, it offers optimal protection against wear. It's an excellent choice for active individuals who prioritize durability.
Other settings, such as channel , grain , or in-stone settings, are frequently used for pavé diamond rings or wedding bands. These settings, while more stable, also require regular inspection, as wear to the metal can occur more subtly.
