I'm not entirely sure I understand the question. Are you asking what a prong setting is or how you can acquire a prong set diamond engagement ring? In regards to the first option: a prong setting consists of a precious metal backing, or cradle, which the diamond is fitted into, and is then held in place by delicate, fine prongs. A prong stetting can feature up to 8 prongs, and the most common, traditional prong setting usually consists of 4 prongs. The prong setting is valued for its versatility and its simple sophistication and is perhaps the most popular engagement ring setting in today's diamond engagement ring market.

As for the second questions, you can get prong set diamond engagement rings at virtually any jewelry store since prong settings are so common, or you can design you own engagement ring setting.

Depending on the ring you will have to go to a jeweler, have him/her get an appropriate prong or bezel setting, have it soldered into the ring and then have your stone set into the setting. Don't forget to supply the correct size required as the ring will likely need to be cut to insert the setting and therefore will require resizing.
