What metal should be set for a diamond ring?

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.

How do you lose diamond from gold jewelry?

Diamonds are set in metal so that light can reach the stone and reflect/ refract out of the stone. Usually, the diamond is set with prongs, or at least secured into the jewelery with metal. When the metal prongs or setting pull away from the diamond -- for any reason -- the diamond can be lost from the setting.


Were diamonds ever mounted in a copper setting?

The term 'were' purports to look back into the history of diamonds as adornment, which history reaches back about 6,000 years. Copper is a relatively soft metal and would not be secure for a diamond -- for long. There may have been diamonds that were set in copper. Today, a buyer can commission that a diamond be set in rose gold, which is gold mixed with copper, to give the setting somewhat the copper colour, while securing the gem in a stronger metal.
