Group setting is a diamond setting technique, consisting of a main stone and accompanying stones arranged together, specifically referring to setting a circle of small broken diamonds around the periphery of the main diamond. The main stone is surrounded by several smaller companion stones, which are arranged in different ways to enlarge the visual effect of the diamond and make the diamond ring look more luxurious and dazzling. If only small diamonds appear in a piece of jewelry, it cannot be called a group inlay.
The advantages of group set diamonds
1. Radiant and dazzling
The group setting style of the diamond ring is composed of numerous fine and intricate small diamonds set together. The diamonds and the metal ring holder complement each other, presenting an incredibly brilliant light that cannot be compared to a single diamond.
2. Diverse styles
The setting method of a single diamond is monotonous, and overall, the style does not change much, while the group set diamond ring can be arranged in various shapes through the manipulation of small diamonds in different ways, making the style more novel and unique.
The disadvantages of group setting diamonds
1. Low resale value
Generally speaking, the heavier the diamond, the more precious it is, and its value preservation and appreciation will also be higher. However, group set diamond rings often use small diamonds, even if there are many in quantity, their value preservation is not as high as individual diamonds.
2. Easy to detach from the drill
The small diamonds on the group set diamond ring are all manually set one by one, which is relatively easy to fall off and can affect the overall appearance. In addition, because there are many gaps in the group set diamonds, it is not very convenient to clean them.
