More on Settings

A couple more suggestions on settings. If you do want to design your own ring, do it with the assistance of a credible jeweler who is certified and offer suggestions to make a high-quality ring. And it is not likely that the diamond will fall out with only four prongs, but it could happen after the ring has been worn for many years, as it is probably hit and nicked on different occasions. So to avoid this, simply take your rings in for "check-ups" every few years, so the jeweler can tighten the prongs. Although the six prong ring does add more support, I don't think it is a huge difference; six prong rings are simply more expensive and have better quality. Rachel, you cannot take a diamond out of a setting without tools; I would say that's almost impossible, unless the prongs were very loose. The diamond must also be placed with tools and by a professional; if it isn't, then there are many flaws which could occur, as I talked about in the last entry. But then again, David Blaine knows more about magic than I do!!
