Which Stud Setting? When purchasing diamond or
gemstone stud earrings you
have a magnitude of choices
available, allowing endless opportunity for
customization. One of your first consider
ations should be the selection of a setting,
which will immensely impact the style
and look of your earring. Usually there are
four main types of settings: the basket, the
prong, the bezel and the halo. To help you
make an informed decision, we have put
together a list of the most popular below.
·-Classic 4-Prong
Often referred to as a basket setting, this
is one of the most popular. The 4-prongs
securely surround your gem to hold it in
place while allowing light to shine through
from both the top and the sides, adding
extra sparkle. The bottom (basket) sits
close to your earlobe.
Modern 3-Prong
Better known as a martini setting, this
design provides a more streamlined sil-
AQuamarine
houette, resembling a martini glass, hence
the name. In this triangular setting, the
gem sits lower and closer to the earlobe,
providing a more visible, brilliant and
sleeker look.
Bezel: Modern and Strong Bezel settings provide a modern, sim
ple and smooth look. With a bezel set, the
edges of the gem are completely enclosed
by the metal to offer an incredibly secure
foundation with optimal protection. The
bezel setting remains one of the most pop
ular, sitting level and securely on the ear.
Halo: Say Hello to Glamour A frame, or "halo," of smaller matching
or colored gems
is added around
the outside of the
center gem to add
sparkle. This is a
very popular setting, as it tends to make
the center gem appear larger, making a big
impact.
There are no set guidelines for stud ear
ring settings, which allows you to explore
what you really love and what best suits
your personal style!
