What types of diamond ring styles are there? What is the best?

Diamond ring styles can be divided into the following categories: simple style, luxurious style and unique design. According to the mosaic classification, it can be divided into cross inlay, column inlay, package inlay, clip inlay, row inlay and so on. According to the shape of main drill, it can be divided into round drill, drop drill, square drill and core drill.

I. Pin setting ()

Pointed inlay is the most classic and common diamond inlay method, commonly known as "universal inlay method", and it is also the most brilliant inlay. It is called prong setting because it holds diamonds with slender claws, usually three claws, four claws or six claws, of which six claws are the most stable and popular choice.

Mosaic shows the beauty of diamonds, which is convenient for observing the lathe work, color and clarity of diamonds. For larger diamonds, for the sake of stability, a pointed inlay will be used.

Advantages of pin arrangement:

1, less drilling, clearly and perfectly presenting the beauty of diamonds.

2. Using the light incident and reflected from different angles, the fire color of the diamond can be displayed from all directions, making the diamond look bigger and brighter. Visually create the illusion that it is beyond its own size. So it will give people a great sense of diamond ring vision.

3, pointed diamond ring, elegant classic never out of date, but also suitable for different hand types, let you shine.

Second, the package settings (border settings)

Mosaic is a very firm and traditional mosaic method. Diamonds below the waist are sealed in metal brackets (frames) with metal edges. There is no gap between the inlaid diamond and the edge, which is flat and smooth, and the edge of the groove is flat and smooth, and there is no sudden stabbing pain to the touch.

Inclusive advantages:

1. Compared with the pointed inlay, it is better to wrap all the diamonds, which can better protect the diamonds and make them stronger and avoid falling off;

2, the style is more traditional and subtle, with a low-key atmosphere;

3. The edge of the groove is smooth and comfortable to wear.

Disadvantages of bag inlay: as the saying goes, "a good figure is to be shown." Although the inlay protects the diamond well, it also wraps the "good figure" of the diamond and makes the diamond look smaller. After all, most diamonds are set in rings.

Third, paving settings.

Nailing is to use the ductility of metal to cut several small nails directly on the edge of metal material with tools to fix the diamond on any metal claw that fixes the diamond. Closely arranged diamonds are actually embedded in tenons and grooves. This mosaic method needs to emphasize whether the size and height of diamonds are consistent and the arrangement order of diamonds.

Advantages of studding: because it is not surrounded by metal, diamonds can penetrate and reflect more light, highlighting the dazzling light of diamond ornaments, which is no less shining than large carat gems. Nail inlay is mostly used for diamond setting, which becomes the ornament of luxury models.

Disadvantages of nail drill: If the whole ring is nail-drilled, it is difficult to change the size of the ring, otherwise it may fall off with a little improper force.

IV. Track Settings (Channel Settings)

Orbital inlay is a safe way to inlay small diamonds, also known as groove inlay. Small diamonds are set in two parallel metal strips, which are clear and unobtrusive and look elegant. This inlay method is often used for wedding rings or rings that are only suitable for small diamonds and have no main diamonds.

Advantages of rail inlay:

1, which has good protection for the waist of the diamond, is firm, safe and not easy to be damaged; Visually more neat and smooth;

2, the surface is smooth, clothes will not be easily hooked.

Disadvantages of rail inlay: this kind of inlay requires high technology, and it is easy to damage the diamond during the inlay process, and the change of metal radian is easy to cause the diamond to fall off.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) tension setting

The name of the clip comes from the fact that it holds the diamond by the tension of the metal itself. In this way, the diamond looks like it is hanging between two metal handles of the ring, so people call it clip-on figuratively. With the help of laser technology, diamonds are accurately calibrated, and then the jeweler makes a tiny groove on the two handles of the ring, so that diamonds or other precious stones are fixed on the ring by the pressure of the metal handles.

Disadvantages of clamping: the contact surface of diamond fixed by metal is limited and the stress point is too small. When the diamond is hit by external force, the metal will deform, which will easily lead to the diamond loosening or even falling off. Moreover, the size cannot be modified. It is recommended to determine the size of the ring before customization to avoid problems.

Six, Gypsy Settings (Gypsy Settings)

Gypsy inlay, also known as inlay and hidden inlay, is a kind of diamond ring. First, the diamond is embedded in a hole that can better wrap the diamond waist, and then the diamond is fixed by hammering the surrounding metal. The pavilion of the diamond will not be exposed, just like being buried in metal, and then the jeweler taps the metal around the diamond to fix it.

Gypsy inlay advantages:

1. In this mosaic mode, the diamond is safely placed in the ring holder, and the diamond is highly protected, especially it is not easy to loosen or fall off, so the diamond is relatively safe;

2, clothes will not be hooked or scratched, and the appearance is beautiful and generous;

3, this type of ring is also very suitable as a wedding ring, especially for men, which is very atmospheric.

Seven, column sleeve (common pin)

Separate each diamond with a slender metal strip. The thin column has uniform thickness and uniform bending radian. After the stigma is polished, it looks like a bright bead from above. Each gem is separated independently, and the exposed part of the side of the gem reflects beautiful light. This mosaic style belongs to retro style, gorgeous and rigorous. This is a very suitable inlay technology for small carats and diamonds, which is exquisite and delicate.

Advantages of columnar inlay:

1, which can protect diamonds better than claw type; This style exposes most of the diamonds and can produce more visual effects than the actual ones.

Column mosaic disadvantages:

There is great danger in setting, because diamonds are easy to be damaged in the process of setting, the fixing degree of diamonds is not as good as other styles mentioned above, and the surface of diamond rings is not as flat as the groove edge and Chanel. This diamond setting process is suitable for a small number of diamonds.
