Grain-Set Women’s Diamond Wedding Bands
Grain-Set wedding bands feature diamonds held in place by four equally spaced, small metal beads barely detectable by the naked eye. The diamonds are set tightly side-by-side, leaving minimal space between to produce a continuous arc of sparkle across the finger.
Grain-Set diamonds are similar in appearance to Channel-Set diamonds, which are held in place by metal walls rather than tiny beads. Grain-Set wedding bands are therefore more textured, as the small metal prongs can be felt by running your finger gently across the surface of the ring.
Milgrain detailing is often added to the metal edges of Grain-Set
wedding bands, adding further texture with a vintage-inspired result. Straight Grain-Set wedding bands are an excellent choice for ring stacking, and curved Grain-Set wedding bands are designed to embrace and emphasise the size of a diamond in a
classic solitaire engagement ring.
Channel-Set Diamond Wedding Bands
SH Channel-Set diamond wedding bands feature a single row of scintillating diamonds set between two walls of 18kt gold. Channel settings are similar in appearance to Grain-Set wedding bands, but without the tiny metal prongs that hold Grain-Set diamonds in place.
Our Channel-Set wedding ring collection showcases traditional Round Brilliant Cut and Princess Cut diamonds, as well as Baguette Cuts, for the lovers of
vintage-inspired designs.
Channel settings are one of the safest
diamond ring setting types. With the sides slightly overlapping the low-set diamonds to form a small metal lip, the flat profile provides ultimate protection from accidental knocks and bumps. The absence of prongs or claws in Channel settings also make this setting type a completely snag-free design.
In addition to women’s wedding bands, Channel settings are a popular choice for
stackable rings, and feature prominently in the bands of
Timeless engagement rings, adding accent diamonds for additional sparkle.
Bezel-Set Diamond Wedding Bands
Bezel-Set wedding rings feature a row of diamonds with a metal fringe that gently overlaps the edge of the stones to secure them in place. A contemporary style with refined ratios, these elegant bands pair equally well with modern engagement rings as they do traditional favourites.
In a Full-Bezel design, the metal fringe fully encases each diamond, presenting them as standalone stones. In a Half-Bezel wedding band, the diamonds sit side-by-side with a break in the metal.
Both options provide a flat, snag-free profile that protects the diamonds from accidental knocks, making this setting type an ideal choice for those with active lifestyles.
