SETTING

PRONG
The small metal pieces that holds the center stone in place. The most common prong settings for a round solitaire is usually either a four or six-prong. While a six-prong setting offers a slight advantage in securing the main stone, more of the diamonds will be blocked by the prongs.

The choice of metals for the band available are platinum vermeil, 18K gold and solid platinum (PT950). Certain engagement ring settings are available in two-toned.
WHICH FINGER SHOULD THE ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING RING BE WORN ON?
Majority of the population knows that the engagement ring and wedding ring goes on the fourth finger, also known as the ring finger. However, it is interesting to note that there are ladies who wear the engagement ring and/or wedding ring on either the left- or right-hand ring finger.
History Of Wearing On Left Hand Ring Finger
This tradition can be traced back to ancient Rome where the ancient Romans believed that the vein of left ring finger directly connects to the heart – the Vena Amoris, or "Vein of Love" in English. Therefore, a ring on the left-hand fourth finger symbolises lasting love and promise to each other.
Among the English-speaking countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Singapore couples wear the ring on the left hand.

Wedding Band And Engagement Ring – Which Ring Goes First?
Most ladies prefer to wear the wedding band closer to the heart, followed by the engagement ring i.e. below the engagement ring.
On the wedding day, the most common practice is to temporarily move the engagement ring onto the right hand as they walk down the aisle. The wedding band can then be slide onto the left hand where the engagement ring can then later be place above the wedding band.
To conclude, there is no strict rule on which hand should the engagement and wedding ring be worn on. There are ladies who wear both rings together on the ring finger of the left hand while others wear them on opposite hand, or simply just the wedding band.
