RING SETTING STYLES:
Platinum is the most secure setting for diamonds

setting styles, each lending the ring part of its
unique personality.

There are a number of considerations in the
ring band, including various design elements and

as the 4Cs) will directly affect the price and value
of the ring.

metal used in the setting. All platinum jewelry
is hallmarked. There are a number of symbols

jewelry to indicate that it is high purity platinum.
