Let’s discuss these factors and how they can affect your choice of a flush set engagement ring setting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Thin band engagement ring settings<\/a> with a band width between 1.5 mm and 1.7 mm typically can\u2019t accommodate a standard prong set on top of the band and therefore don\u2019t sit flush with a wedding band. Thin band settings with a cathedral can usually accommodate a thin wedding band sitting flush. Engagement ring settings with thinner bands are usually made taller in order to offset the narrow width of the band in terms of durability. \u00a0If you love the dainty look of a thin band ring, a flush set engagement ring setting may not be for you. \u00a0Consider the width of the wedding band you are selecting. \u00a0A flush set engagement ring and wedding band will appear as if they are one band in terms of width. \u00a0The overall visual appearance will be the width of the wedding band and the engagement ring band combined. \u00a0For example, a 2mm engagement ring setting with a 2mm wedding band will take up 4mm of space in your finger and appear as 4mm.\u00a0In this case, selecting a ring setting that has a prong that slightly extends past the ring band will create a slight gap. \u00a0This will maintain the dainty look of the engagement ring and the dainty look of a thin wedding band.\u00a0Engagement ring settings with bands over 2.5mm almost always will be flush set. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider your preference on how high the center stone is set. \u00a0The center stone on a flush set engagement ring sits on top of the ring setting. \u00a0This results in the diamond sitting higher off your finger than it would on a low-set engagement ring setting. A low-set engagement ring setting has a basket that sits on the finger, and the band attaches to the sides of it. A standard prong has more metal at the base than a basket prong does. \u00a0Diamonds set in a standard prong on a ring band of 3mm or less will sit higher than\u00a0a\u00a0basket prong and may not be flush set. If you like the look of a standard prong and want a ring band that is 3mm or less, pay attention to the side view of the ring. The prong base may exceed the width of the band and therefore create a gap. The gap would be minimal, but may require a spacer band if you are considering a pave or prong set diamond wedding band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Larger center stones inherently sit higher on an engagement ring setting because they are larger and therefore deeper than smaller stones. Round, princess and square cushion cut diamonds are deeper than other shapes with the same carat weight. Rectangular and longer shaped diamonds are shallow for their carat weight. The prongs for a longer diamond, such as an oval, will extend out further and lower than those of a round or square. Your wedding band would need to be the same height or shorter than the engagement ring setting in order to sit flush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A flush set engagement ring setting may not be a good choice for you if you lead a life that requires a lot of work with your hands. \u00a0You may\u00a0want your center diamond set as close to your finger as possible. This would also be a consideration when selecting longer cut diamonds, such as ovals and pear shapes, as a center stone. \u00a0Longer cut diamonds are sometimes preferred in settings closer to the finger because they are more prone to catching on things in higher settings. \u00a0Low settings on a thin band usually aren\u2019t flush set and would require a specialty band or spacer band in order to sit flush. \u00a0Low settings on a wide band can be flush set, provided that the ring band is wider than the length of the center stone. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are planning on selecting a larger diamond band as your wedding band, you may not want a flush set engagement ring setting. \u00a0Wider diamond wedding bands<\/a> that sit under the center stone can blur out the center stone or appear disproportionate. \u00a0Considering a diamond band that is the same width or thinner than the engagement ring band will allow the center stone to stand out. \u00a0Selecting a low-set engagement ring setting allows both rings to stand out, no matter what the width differences may be. A spacer band is recommended for low-set engagement rings worn with a diamond band. Thinner wedding bands with three-stone rings may cause the wedding band to get lost underneath a flush-set three-stone engagement ring setting. Consider selecting a wedding band that is not an exact match for your flush set three-stone engagement ring. \u00a0Flush set diamond band engagement ring settings look fantastic with plain bands. \u00a0Flush set solitaires look best with diamond bands that are not wider than the engagement ring band width. You can\u2019t go wrong with a super skinny wedding band with or without diamonds. \u00a0Thinner wedding bands do not detract attention from the center stone and complement engagement ring settings of any style.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your finger shape can help you determine your ring style. \u00a0If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, your rings will move and shift constantly. \u00a0Selecting a flush set engagement ring setting will allow the band to sit flush, but your rings will rarely sit flush together on their own. \u00a0Some options help to keep your ring set sitting as close together as possible. \u00a0Your options are to solder your wedding band and your engagement ring together or have sizing beads added to the inside of your rings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are some of our top flush set engagement rings that look fantastic with every shape!<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Flush set engagement rings make the most sense for people who want to create a uniform-looking engagement ring with a wedding band. \u00a0Unique wedding bands with a\u00a0height that is equal to or less than the height of the band on the engagement ring\u00a0also look great with flush set engagement ring settings. \u00a0A low-set engagement ring sits closest to the finger and allows the wedding band and engagement ring to stand out. An engagement ring setting with a slight or minimal gap is similar to a flush set style and offers a bit of separation between the 2 rings. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is a flush set engagement ring?
