All setting types are equally secure; it is a matter of preference. The setting that is most popular for diamond bracelets is the prong setting. A prong setting means that a small metal prong is bent over the girdle of the gem. A channel setting makes the stones fitted into the channel and held into place on each side by a continuous strip of metal. A Bezel setting means that the diamond is completely surrounded by metal, while a semi-Bezel setting or Half Bezel setting means that the diamond is partially surrounded by metal.

5. Choose the Best Diamonds

Now, it’s time to choose the diamond for your bracelet, which is a very important task and requires you to keep the following things in mind. a) the total diamond carat size of the bracelet you are buying; b) the diamond must have rich color, good cut as well as a smooth surface. Usually, the bigger the diamond is, the more visible any blemishes or coloration issues will be. So if you are choosing a bracelet which features fairly large stones, opt for a ‘better’ to ‘best’ diamond quality combination.
