In jewelry, different types of setting are used. Some settings require more attention than others so that you never lose your stones . The prong setting is the one to which the most attention must be paid. On a solitaire ring for example, the prongs of the jewel stand out and absorb a lot of shock. The metal will therefore wear out more quickly where it is most exposed. When wear is visible and dangerous for the strength of the diamond setting, we will proceed with a reconstruction of the prongs . This means that we will add metal to the existing claws to strengthen them. It also sometimes happens that the claws are so worn that it is impossible to add metal. In a case like this, complete replacement of the prongs on the jewelry is necessary.

For diamond solitaires, it is also possible to use a bezel setting . That is to say, there is metal all around the stone. This type of setting hides the central stone a little more but protects it better. Given that a good amount of metal surrounds the stone, this is a very reassuring setting choice in the long term since there is very little chance of the metal wearing away and the diamond coming out of its setting.

In other types of jewelry setting, there is the rail setting , often called channel, the mass setting and the grain setting . These types of settings are often used on rings where the diamonds are next to each other. These settings should also be monitored annually but as the metal is less exposed than on a prong setting, it will tend to wear out a little less quickly.
