08 May 2025 0 comments

 

First, design philosophy: Interpret eternity with simplicity

Structural aesthetics

Six-prong symmetrical distribution: Forms a stable geometric framework, maximizing the exposure of the diamond countertop, allowing light to penetrate 360° and release brilliant fire.

Slimming of the ring arm: It creates a visual contrast with the main diamond, highlighting the diamond body and conforming to the minimalist aesthetic of "less is more".

Symbolic meaning

The six claws symbolize: they respectively represent "responsibility, commitment, tolerance, trust, care and cherishing", endowing the diamond ring with emotional depth.

Historical heritage: From the Victorian era to modern times, six-prong setting has always been the first choice for noble and royal weddings, such as Princess Diana's sapphire six-prong engagement ring.

Second, craftsmanship value: A perfect balance between stability and light transmission

Inlay technique

Prong setting technique: Each prong is precisely embedded in the diamond crown. The prong tip is round and smooth, avoiding scratching clothes or skin.

Metal usage control: The six-prong design reduces the proportion of metal in the ring setting, lowers the risk of diamond "light leakage", and ensures that the light is fully refracted.

Material compatibility

Platinum six-prong: High hardness, suitable for daily wear; The white metal matches the diamond color level, enhancing the visual purity.

18K gold six claws: A wide range of color options (white/yellow/rose gold), customizable for personalized style.

Third, wearing experience: Dual guarantee of comfort and safety

Ergonomic design

The arc of the ring arm: It conforms to the curve of the fingers to reduce the feeling of a foreign body when wearing. The height of the claw head is moderate to avoid hooking clothes.

Weight distribution: The weight of the main stone is evenly distributed to the ring arm through the six claws, reducing the burden on the fingers.

Safety advantage

Anti-drop mechanism: The six claws form a 360° wrap, providing stronger grip than the four claws, making it suitable for large-carat diamonds (over 1 carat).

Daily maintenance: The claw head is easy to clean. Regularly check the wear and tear of the claw head to ensure the stability of the diamond.

Fourth, emotional significance: A symbol of love that transcends eras

The enduring appeal of classics

Market data: Over 70% of engagement rings worldwide choose six-prong setting, making it the top choice for "safety cards".

Star effect: From Elizabeth Taylor to Kate Winslet, six-prong diamond rings have always been a popular choice for star weddings.

Personalized customized space

Ring arm modification: It can be adorned with small diamonds, ball edges or hollowed-out designs, combining classic and fashionable elements.

Main stone selection: Suitable for various diamond shapes such as round, oval, and cushion, to meet personalized needs.

Fifth, how to choose a six-prong set diamond ring?

Diamond 4C standard

Cutting: Prioritize the 3EX cutting to ensure maximum fire.

Color: Within the range of D-H, it is more compatible with platinum /18K white ring Settings.

Clarity: VS2 or above to avoid the influence of inclusions on light refraction.

Details of the ring arm

Thickness: The main stone should be over 1 carat, and the ring arm is recommended to be ≥2mm.

Inner ring treatment: Polished inner rings are preferred to reduce wearing friction.

Brand and Certificate

Certificate: GIA/IGI international certificates are required to ensure the quality of the diamonds.

Brand: Choose brands that offer lifetime maintenance services, such as Tiffany, Harry Winston, etc.

Sixth, Classic Case: A Love Story Spanning a Century

Princess Diana's sapphire six-prong diamond ring: In 1981, Prince Charles proposed with a six-prong ring set featuring 18-carat sapphire and 14 diamonds, which became a classic symbol of royal jewelry.

Kate Middleton's timeless Ring: In 2010, Prince William presented Kate with a sapphire six-pronged diamond ring left by his mother, symbolizing love and family heritage.
