In the realm of round-shaped diamonds, two predominant prong options vie for attention: the 4-prong and the 6-prong settings. Remarkably, the 6-prong setting exclusively complements the round shape. Delve into the nuances of these two settings below:

A 4-prong setting for your lab diamond engagement ring stands as a versatile choice for round-shaped diamonds of varying carat sizes. This setting encompasses a basket-like structure where prongs emerge horizontally from the band, forming a securing framework with spaces between each prong. While this setting may lend a slightly squarish appearance to the diamond, it ensures increased visibility of the gemstone, suiting smaller diamonds optimally. Notably, the 4-prong option accommodates unique prong orientations, akin to a compass, offering distinct visual dynamics.

In contrast, we will recommend a 6-prong setting for your lab diamond engagement ring only for round-shaped lab grown diamonds exceeding 0.50 carats. While smaller diamonds might feel overwhelmed by the excess prongs, the 6-prong arrangement accentuates the diamond's innate roundness. Enhancing both the gem's shape and security, this setting's additional prongs eliminate the need for a basket. Yet, a practical consideration surfaces: a higher prong count increases the likelihood of snagging on clothing.

Diverse in shape, these diamonds invariably gravitate towards the 4-prong setting due to their inherent geometry. Alternatively, the 4-double prong setting offers an intriguing alternative.

Pear and Heart shaped diamonds frequently find their home within the embrace of 3-prong settings, occasionally extending to 5-prong configurations. Notably, a "V" prong secures the pointed edges of these unique shapes, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Marquise diamonds exude elegance in "V" prong settings, often accompanied by basket arrangements. Alternatively, the addition of prongs along each side presents another stylish option.

The very shape of prongs yields a distinct impact on the overall aesthetic. Round prongs feature spherical tips, occasionally lending a bulkier appearance. Eagle claw prongs emulate the pointed grasp of an eagle's claw, encompassing a slightly larger portion of the diamond's surface. Square prongs, a classic choice, bear a distinct square finish; however, they too might seem bulky to some wearers.
