quality of a ring setting?

[Versailles79]

Hi All Pricescope Experts,

My fiancé proposed to me with a diamond and so I am in the market for engagement settings.

I was wondering if there are things I should watch out for in terms of picking a setting and picking a jewelry setting? The reason why I ask is that I saw a setting on diamonds.com and the quality of the setting and its prongs did not look strong to me for some reason. The prongs looked really "rough." I don’t want my diamond to fall out of my setting.

Also, how do I know if a particular jeweler has good craftsmanship?

Thanks.

What kind of setting are you after? What shape stone? What metal?

Platinum prongs are, in my opinion, your safest bet. If it''s a round, I say 6 prongs, no question.
