Channel setting is a distinctive look created when accent stones are set into a grooved channel and laid edge-to-edge in a row. This design protects the gemstones, making this setting style ideal for daily wear.

Minimal setting where a gemstone is held in the tension between two pieces of metal. Gemstone appears to float with optimal light access. This setting is the least secure and will need proper attention when wearing.

Pavé settings typically include multiple rows of interlocking stones, originating from the word pavement in French.

Micro setting refers to a microscopic distance between stones, using small stones to give the illusion of a fully gem-studded and even surface.

A technique used to cover metal with small gemstones. Small prongs, or "beads" are used to keep stones in place along the band or surface.

Typically 3-6 prongs secure the stone, depending on the size of the gemstone. The prongs can vary in thickness for security and this setting exposes the gemstone to a large amount of light.

A rim of metal encapsulates the stone, providing the utmost level of security. Gemstones are protected from accidental damage as this setting is the most hard-wearing.
