What are the most popular styles of four prong engagement rings?

The majority of diamond engagement ring styles feature prong configurations which consist of four or six prongs, while six prong settings are generally considered to be more secure, a lot of people prefer four prong settings because the prongs cover less of the surface area of the diamond, leaving more of the diamond visible. One of the most popular designs of four prong diamond engagement rings is without a doubt, the ClassicFour Prong Solitaire from Brian Gavin, which is pictured above, in 14k yellow gold with a four prong white gold head, which is the term used by the trade to refer to the prong portion of the ring.

Four Prong Cathedral Style Solitaires:

Another extremely popular four prong solitaire, is the Ashleigh cathedral style setting from Brian Gavin, which features a four prong head, that is accented by two round brilliant cut diamonds which are kind of like “surprise stones” that are tucked into a bezel which is set at the base of the prongs on two sides of the ring. Each diamond measures 1.8 mm, and are F-G color and VS in clarity, and cut to the same standards as Brian Gavin Signature diamonds. Unlike a traditional solitaire which features a band which is essentially a circle, a cathedral style setting is more of an A-frame, with two sides of the ring extending upwards into the sides of the prongs to add some depth.

Of course we also offer a traditional four prong cathedral setting which does not feature accent diamonds in case you prefer a slightly simpler design, and our X-prong solitaire is another very popular rendition of a cathedral style engagement ring.

Split Four Prong Solitaires:

It has become quite popular in recent years, to split the four prongs of a solitaire so that the diamonds appears to be held in place by eight prongs. It takes skill and precision to split the four prongs of a setting into eight and shape them properly, but it creates a stylish and elegant look which is quite appealing. The Split Four Prong Grace Solitaire from Brian Gavin which is pictured to the left, is available with four prongs which are split or not split, since we start out with a four prong head to begin with. One of the features which make this ring popular is the 2.5 mm rounded ring shank which is polished to a high gloss bright finish.

Another very popular ring which features a split four prong head is the Chelsea from Brian Gavin, which is based on a traditional cathedral style engagement ring.

Of course one of the most popular styles of four prong engagement rings is Brian Gavin’s Fishtail pave solitaire, which is pictured to the left set with an antique cushion brilliant cut diamond, set in a straight four prong truth head.
