Claw Prong Engagement Ring - Sign of Infinite Love

A claw prong engagement ring is an excellent choice for someone who prefers a minimalist and edgy style that never goes out of fashion. It has a sleek aesthetic that combines classic and modern elements.

Using a ‘claw prong’ is one of the methods to hold a gemstone such as a moissanite on top of a ring. Claw prongs are characterized by pointed ends reaching over the girdle and grasping the crown of the moissanite. This elongated prone setting extends farther onto the gemstone compared to other types.  

The claw prong setting accommodates different moissanite cuts. Whether you are thinking of getting an oval, emerald, or round cut center stone, claw prongs can hold it securely in place. That’s because they reach farther across the gemstone. But don’t worry. The prongs become narrower as they approach the gemstone’s center, so they don’t hide its brilliance and beauty. Claw prongs show more of the stone compared to flat tab or round prongs. They enhance the brilliance of the moissanite because they allow more light to enter and exit.

There are multiple claw prong variations. So-called ‘petite’ claw prongs are best for smaller gemstones that don’t require as much strength to hold. For larger center stones, standard claw prongs are advisable.
