Each setting has its own personality. Knowing your way around these selections will help you determine which setting fits her best.

And remember, any setting you see in a store can be duplicated in platinum.

	Prong The setting that lets the stone be the hero. It's visible from all sides for maximum sparkle.
	Cathedral/Contour Similar to prong but with rising slopes to protect the stone on two sides. Elegant, but a little more secure.
	Channel Stones sit between two parallels of metal. Visible, but not prominent. Allows the metal and stone to each have their own distinction.
	Bar Harkens to the style and class of a bygone era. Features a thin metal bar that separates each stone but leaves the sides open to bring in light.
	Bezel Timeless. A classic setting that draws attention to the stone, and away from itself, by framing it in precious metal.
	Pavé Sophisticated, but subtle. Tiny metal beads hold each stone in its own discreet setting.
	Tension This setting grips the stone with 65-95 pounds of pressure, creating the illusion that the stone is hovering in space.
	Flush A high-impact, low-stress setting. Offers the security of small stones inside tiny holes.
