Channel Settings
Gemstone settings are nearly always named a term that describes the way they actually hold diamonds gemstones in place, and the term channel setting is no exception -- channel set gemstones are placed into a metal channel. The gemstones flow in a continuous row, because no metal is used to separate them.The seven-diamond wedding band on this page is an example of a channel setting. You'll see the technique quite often when you shop for an engagement ring, because channel set diamonds are popular with buyers who are looking for wedding jewelry.
