How much should a ring setting cost?
A wedding or engagement ring reset can cost anywhere from $80 to about $250. If you’re looking to reset more simplistic jewelry, such as earrings, the job may only cost $125. (These are all estimates; there is no set price to reset a ring.)
Is 6 prong or 4 prong better?
Six prongs hold a diamond more securely in place. If a prong is accidentally sheared off in a four-prong setting, the center stone can easily fall out (and get lost). Six prongs offers better protection to the diamond’s girdle than four prongs. Six prongs can make a round shaped diamond or gemstone look rounder.
Are 4 Prong settings safe?
4 prongs are secure, but 6 prongs are definitely more secure. That being said, people aren’t loosing precious gems out of 4 prong settings left and right – as long as you get your ring checked and maintained, it’s totally fine.
What is a Tiffany style engagement ring?
When people talk about a Tiffany-style ring, they’re talking about the setting – not the diamond. In a Tiffany-style setting, a single diamond is raised up and held securely on top of the band by slender prongs – usually six, but sometimes four.
