Today’s brides have more choices than ever when choosing their dream engagement rings. Gone are the days where the only or most important factors were the cut and carat size of the diamond. Today’s brides have hundreds of choices not only in cut and carat size but also in clarity, metal, stone type, and intricate details of the ring. One of these important details that shouldn’t be overlooked is the type of prong on the ring.
Prongs are small metal hooks that attach the stone to the main body of the ring. Prongs function to add security but also can add detail and style to the ring as well. They can come in a variety of styles and vary in shape, number of prongs, and overall look. The two most common shapes of prongs are claw prongs and button prongs, and both can be split when they reach the stone resulting in the double prong look that so many brides are interested in!
Double Prong Rings Brides that like very intricate styles may enjoy the effect that double prongs offer. Oftentimes rings with split prongs look more delicate than their counterparts. Sometimes adding double prongs to a ring can function to change the look of the shape of the diamond as well. The primary pro for springing for a ring with double prongs is that the added prongs offer added security for any cut diamond. Brides with cushion-cut center stones should especially look into double prongs, as this cut of stone is known to be the least secure overall. No bride wants to look down and be missing her center diamond on her beautiful engagement ring!
