Bar Settings
Similar in design to the Channel setting, the bar differs only in that the multiple stones are separated by thin vertical metal bars that hold them securely in place.
Whilst it isn't sometimes (but not always!) the most comfortable setting to wear, the contemporary look and feel offers excellent side protection for the stones, but perhaps at the expense of protection at the top and bottom of the gemstone. Diamonds can sometimes become loose or damaged but overall the smooth surface add a degree of practicality to the design.
Other, less common engagement ring settings may also be available at your local jewellers, it is simply a matter of discussing the options with them. Don't just think about look and feel of the setting, but also the practicality of it vis-à-vis your partner’s lifestyle, the diamond (or alternative gemstone) and the band metal. Take your time and consider all the factors carefully before choosing the ring.
