Common Prong The common prong setting showcases the round or fancy cut using a soft, sculpted edge. We use it with stones starting at .08 carats and larger, and we can make it with two or four prongs per stone. Bar Similar to the common prong, accenting the stones' shapes. A solid bar crosses the ring to encase and anchor the stones. We use it mostly with stones from.08 carats and larger. Channel Classic, bold and strong. Looks great stacked with bands of different colors and sizes. Most often used with stones weighing from .-01 carats and up to .20 carats.

A beading tool is used to complete the process by shaping, Excess metal is cut away.
