Claw settings are one of the most common settings used for engagement rings. There are usually four or more metal bars, which secure the diamond in place and allow light to enter the diamond from all angles.
A claw setting can be tall, positioning the diamond well above the band or it can be short, meaning the diamond is positioned closer to the finger.
Care must be taken with claw settings as they are prone to snagging and over time the claws may loosen exposing the diamond. Ask your Showcase Jeweller to make regular inspections.
