The gold jewelry industry is evolving rapidly, driven by innovation, changing consumer preferences, sustainability demands, and new manufacturing technologies. For brands like DVN Jewelry, staying ahead of these trends isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about manufacturing excellence, technological leadership, and delivering unmatched value to customers and partners.
The jewelry industry is undergoing a quiet revolution. While design has always been celebrated as the heart of gold jewelry, the real transformation lies behind the scenes—in precision manufacturing. Today, modern gold jewelry is not just about aesthetic appeal; it is about engineering excellence, repeatable quality, and technological innovation.
In the world of fine jewelry, the beauty of a piece isn’t defined by gemstones alone—the setting technique plays an equally important role in both design and durability. The way a stone is set can completely transform the look, feel, and longevity of your jewelry.
At DVN Jewelry, we specialize in a variety of expert stone-setting techniques that enhance brilliance, maximize security, and bring out the true artistry of each piece. Whether you’re designing a custom engagement ring or exploring unique gold jewelry styles, understanding these techniques will help you choose the perfect setting for your next DVN creation.
In this guide, we explore the most popular gold jewelry setting techniques: Prong, Bezel, Pavé, Channel, Tension, and more—each crafted with precision by our skilled jewelers.
The prong setting is one of the most iconic and widely used techniques in gold jewelry. It uses small metal “claws” that hold the gemstone securely in place.
Allows maximum light to enter the stone
Enhances sparkle and brilliance
Beautiful, timeless, and elegant
Works well for engagement rings and solitaires
At DVN Jewelry, our prong settings are crafted in 10K, 14K, and 18K gold, ensuring both strength and beauty. We offer options such as:
4-prong for a modern look
6-prong for added security
V-prong for sharp or delicate stone shapes (e.g., princess or marquise cuts)
Perfect for those who want their gemstone to shine at its brightest.
The bezel setting surrounds the gemstone with a thin, custom-made rim of gold. This technique dates back centuries yet remains a favorite in modern jewelry design.
Maximum protection for the gemstone
Smooth, sleek edges—great for everyday wear
Perfect for active lifestyles
Ideal for gemstones that need extra security
At DVN Jewelry, we craft both:
Full bezels – completely surrounding the stone
Partial bezels – open on the sides for a blend of security and sparkle
The bezel setting’s clean, contemporary look makes it ideal for rings, pendants, and men's jewelry.
The pavé setting (pronounced pah-vay) features multiple small gemstones set closely together, held in place by tiny beads of gold. This creates a dazzling “paved” effect—hence the name.
Adds shimmer from every angle
Perfect for accenting center stones
Offers a luxurious, high-end look
Enhances wedding bands, halos, and statement rings
DVN Jewelry uses high-precision tools to ensure each micro-stone is perfectly aligned, creating a seamless, sparkling surface.
In the channel setting, stones are set in a row between two parallel walls of gold, creating a clean, modern appearance.
No prongs—smooth and snag-free
Stones are protected and aligned perfectly
Beautiful for bands and eternity rings
Great for diamonds and gemstones alike
At DVN Jewelry, channel settings are crafted with extreme attention to detail to ensure every stone fits flawlessly in the channel.
The tension setting uses compression from the gold band itself to hold the gemstone in place, giving the illusion that the stone is floating in midair.
Modern and eye-catching
Allows maximum visibility of the stone
Minimal metal, maximum brilliance
While visually stunning, tension settings require expert craftsmanship. DVN Jewelry uses advanced tools and testing to ensure strength and security.
The halo setting features a central stone encircled by smaller diamonds or gemstones, enhancing the size and sparkle of the center gemstone.
Makes the center stone look larger
Adds dramatic brilliance
Complements almost every gemstone shape
DVN Jewelry’s halo designs are crafted using pavé or micro-prong settings for an elegant, radiant finish.
In a flush setting, the gemstone is set deep into the gold so that it sits level with the metal’s surface.
Extremely secure and durable
Sleek, minimalist appearance
Great for rings worn daily
Perfect for men’s bands
DVN Jewelry uses precise drilling and finishing to ensure each stone fits seamlessly into the metal, offering both subtlety and sophistication.
The bar setting uses vertical bars of gold to hold the stones in place, leaving the sides of the gemstones visible.
Creates a unique, contemporary look
Stones appear brighter with open sides
Secure yet stylish
Often seen in wedding bands and bracelets, DVN crafts bar settings that combine structure with elegance.
