NEW Bespoke Customisation: Petal Prongs
The resurgence of petal prongs has us head over heels for the ways in which you can customise the classic solitaire.
In our time, we’ve crafted many petal prongs; however, recently we’ve noticed this divine detail making its way through our workshops more than ever, as we meticulously craft and bring your ring to life. Below is all you need to know about this ornate detailing for your forever ring.
What Are Petal Prongs?
Prongs, also known as claws, are the elements that wrap around the gemstone and secure it perfectly in place. Inspired by the curved petals of a flower, petal prongs (also known as a tulip setting) is a Bespoke Customisation where the metal prongs and the basket beneath the stone are thoughtfully sculpted to create a romantic, nature-inspired aesthetic while securely holding your precious gemstone.
This ornate prong style is particularly beautiful, as it is a hidden detail. Similar to a Hidden Halo, these contoured, petal-like prongs can only be seen when viewed from the side. A secret sentimental addition, to make your ring truly one of a kind.
The Structural Integrity of Petal Prongs
Despite its delicate appearance, this design is structurally secure and crafted for a lifetime of love. Each contoured prong is meticulously crafted to form a basket, which securely holds your gemstone in place. The curved, petal-like form provides additional contact points and structural support beneath the stone, which helps evenly distribute pressure and enhance stability of the overall setting.
