Is it better to have 4 or 6 prongs?

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.

Is a 4 prong safe?

While both 4 and 6 prongs are considered safe for diamonds, a 4 prong is more likely to give if something happens to one of them, meaning your stone can easily fall out. That said, a 6 prong is an especially good choice if you have a brilliant-cut diamond because it makes your stone look even rounder.

What are claw prongs?
