IS 4 PRONGS ENOUGH FOR AN ENGAGEMENT RING?

THE ANSWER

Yes. Four prongs hold a diamond securely for daily wear. Most round and oval engagement rings use four prongs. The stone is gripped at four points which keeps it stable. Four prongs also show more of the diamond. Less metal covering the stone means more light gets in. More light means more sparkle. The trade-off is slightly less protection at the edges. Six prongs cover more of the stone and add a safety margin. But four prongs are the industry standard for a reason. They balance security, beauty, and practicality. Just get your prongs checked by a jeweller once a year.
