4 Prong Engagement Ring

The four-prong engagement ring uses four prongs to secure the gestone, which is raised above the band, allowing maximum light exposure for exceptional brilliance.

• Less Metal, More Sparkle: A 4 prong engagement ring uses fewer prongs, which means less metal covering the gemstone and more light entering the stone — enhancing brilliance and fire.
• Customizable Look: Prong placement can be adjusted for a unique, personalized appearance, making each ring design distinct.
• Ideal for Smaller Stones: With minimal metal coverage, the 4-prong setting is a great choice for smaller diamonds or moissanites, allowing the stone to appear larger and more prominent.

Although a 4 prong setting is slightly less secure than a 6 prong setting, it still offers reliable support for most gemstones and is often preferred for smaller stones. Its open design allows for more light to enter the gem, enhancing brilliance and fire.The traditional layout of a four-prong setting places the prongs at the 2, 4, 8, and 10 o’clock positions. This creates a slightly squarish frame, making it an excellent choice for square-shaped gemstones like the princess cut moissanite. If you're drawn to the elegant, fairy-like charm of a princess cut, a 4-prong engagement ring is a beautiful and secure option that enhances the shape and sparkle of the stone.

A 4 prong engagement ring offers a more elegant, open look that lets in more light for extra sparkle, while a 6 prong setting provides added security, especially for larger stones. Choose based on whether you prioritize brilliance or durability.
