Since diamonds hold enormous value for their size, any metal used to set a diamond should be able to resist casual bumps and bangs, sufficient to protect the diamond.
Usually, diamonds are set in high-carat gold, 14 karat or 18 karat (higher karat gold is too soft), or platinum. Diamonds are also set in palladium, steel and other metals, but not typically in jewelery that will be bumped or banged.
