High setting vs. low setting
Alongside the design, the height of the diamond also plays an important role.
In a high setting, the diamond sits higher, allowing more light to reach it and creating an intense sparkle. The result is a classic, elegant look that pairs well with a wedding band.
In a low setting, the diamond sits closer to the finger. This makes the ring comfortable and well suited to everyday wear, with a more modern, subtle appearance. Depending on the shape of the ring, a wedding band may not sit flush alongside it.
