What Makes Prong Settings the Secret to Stunning Diamond Jewelry?

Looking for a setting that maximizes your diamond's brilliance? The prong (or claw) setting represents the pinnacle of Antwerp's handcrafted jewelry tradition and remains BAUNAT's preferred choice for showcasing diamonds. This elegant setting uses delicate clamps to secure the diamond while allowing maximum light exposure and reflection, dramatically enhancing the stone's natural sparkle.

Beyond engagement rings, BAUNAT incorporates prong settings in diamond earrings and pendant necklaces, creating versatile pieces that capture attention. To maintain your prong-set jewelry's brilliance, regular professional checks are essential, along with gentle cleaning using lukewarm water with mild detergent and a soft toothbrush. Avoid household cleaners that might damage your precious investment.

Maintaining the Sparkle: Caring for Your Prong Setting

To keep your jewellery in optimal condition, regular professional checks are recommended. Additionally, periodic cleaning will ensure the exposed diamond stays sparkling clean. Simply soak your prong-set ring in a solution of lukewarm water with a drop of detergent or ammonia, gently brushing with a soft toothbrush. We strongly advise against using household cleaners as many contain chemicals that could potentially harm your jewellery.
