What Do Are Trellis Diamond Ring Settings?

Trellis refers to a claw-style diamond ring setting, where metal prongs that hold the center stone cross over one another. It can be plain and simple, while the purpose of prongs on the diamond ring remains the same – to hold the centerpiece gemstone securely in place.

Trellis rings can be set with small diamonds or filigree that makes it distinctive and vintage. The main appeal of a trellis diamond ring is that the setting makes the ring’s side look charming. While you may not be able to see its side, others will be able to. In fact, the trellis detailing provides more angles for a precious metal of the ring to reflect the shine, while allowing the pavilion of the diamond to be noticeable and display its brilliance.

Trellis rings can be decorated with multiple gemstones for an intricate and dazzling style. Think of a five stone diamond ring, for instance, which is set with a centerpiece oval diamond and surrounded by two round diamonds on each side. Tapered trellis diamond rings have metal bands that gradually appear wider or slimmer just as they reach the main diamond at the center. This draws the attention to the center stone, emphasizing its cut facets and brilliance.
