Confused about settings

[chillyadelie]

In your opinion, which type of setting is most desirable (bezel, channel set, or prong set)?

What do you like best? I think it is personal choice. Are you talking for an e-ring, and eternity band? What shape diamond?

Well, bezels are probably the most durable. But, that doesn''t mean your diamond is going to get hurt if you don''t get one.

I am referring to specifically a diamond tennis bracelet. It looks like they come in a variety of settings. I am looking to get some opinions regarding the four main settings: (1) full bezel; (2) half bezel; (3) channel set; or (4) prong-set. Also, are there price differences for the same size diamond bracelet based on setting? Any advice, experiences?

Ohhh, you need to edit your original post to put that it is for a diamond tennis bracelet or people will not know how to answer the question. The style of setting is not going to effect the total price greatly if you choose gold. It might if you were using platinum.

My tennis bracelet is classic 4 prong set, and I think it is perfect! All you see is a line of diamonds across the wrist!

I agree with DS-- but I also like REALLY THIN full bezel set ones too-- especially with alternating sizes One small, next to one larger and so forth. (The bezels are what should be really thin, not the braclet itself).
