At Prestige Gemstones, we understand that choosing the right setting can transform a beautiful diamond or gemstone into an exquisite piece of jewellery. Here, we delve into some of the most sought-after ring settings to help you make an informed decision and craft your dream UK engagement ring.

Prong Setting
The most classic and popular choice, the prong setting uses metal claws to hold the gemstone securely in place. This setting maximises light entry, enhancing the stone's brilliance and sparkle. Consider the Hampstead Ring in Yellow Gold for its elegant prong setting that beautifully showcases a 2.01ct Princess cut diamond, exuding class and sophistication.
Halo Setting
For those desiring added sparkle and a larger appearance, the halo setting, with its circle of small accent stones surrounding the centre stone, is a splendid choice. This setting enhances the centre diamond, making it appear more prominent and even more dazzling. A halo setting, such as that of the Hampstead Ring, offers a magnificent way to add grandeur to your engagement piece.
Bezel Setting
Offering robust protection, the bezel setting encircles the stone with a thin metal rim, making it an excellent option for those with active lifestyles. This setting safely secures the gemstone while maintaining a sleek, modern look. Explore custom options through our extensive Custom Engagement Rings collection to find a bezel setting that resonates with your style.
Pavé Setting
In the pavé setting, small diamonds are set closely together with minimal gaps, creating the illusion of a continuous line of sparkle. This setting is ideal for those who desire an all-around glittering effect, adding to the ring's elegance without overpowering the main stone.
