HOW TO STOP RING PRONGS FROM SNAGGING?

THE ANSWER

Have a jeweller check the prongs. Snagging usually means a prong has lifted, bent, or worn down. The metal tip sticks up instead of curving smoothly over the stone. A jeweller can re-tip the prongs. They add a small bead of metal and polish it smooth. This takes minutes and is not expensive. If snagging is constant, consider switching to a lower-profile setting or a bezel. Cathedral settings sit higher and catch on things more. Low-profile settings keep the stone closer to your finger. Rounded prongs snag less than pointed or flat ones. Regular maintenance is the best prevention.
