Tips to choose perfect diamond settings

1. Do not attempt to set the diamond by yourself; you ought to get it done from a jewelry shop that has a bench jeweler available at all times or at least when you’re there. It is very important to know how to choose a perfect diamond jewelry set. Be certain that you do not go to some jewelry store where they send the repair work off the premise, because it’s always good if you stay and watch over while the diamond is set in your ring, moreover since it’s not a time consuming job, you wouldn’t find it hard to wait, instead you would be thrilled to see how the work is done.

2. The diamond setting must have a head attached to it, which is very small in size, but very important, as it is the one that holds your diamond securely, if the head does not fit the diamond correctly, then in that case, you would have to ask the jeweler to make a new head that is of right fit for your loose diamond. To accomplish this, the jeweler would take the help of tools such as pliers, setting burrs and cupping tools. Each tool is used for a different purpose, with the help of the pliers, the jeweler would open up the head slightly, to fit in the stone; with setting burrs he checks and sees to it that the diamond is securely held inside the head; and with the cupping tools he does a finishing touch on the tips of each prong.

3. Once when the jeweler completes his work of setting the loose diamond in the diamond ring settings, be sure to check the reliability; do check on whether the prongs are uniform, correctly shaped at the tips and evenly placed around the diamond.
