What do ring settings mean?

Necklaces, rings, engagement rings, watches, bracelets,
wedding bands for men or women, in rose gold or white gold, La Maison Lorenz Bäumer
offers a wide selection of designs and settings, each having a very special meaning in its arrangement and
number of diamonds: an overview.

Diamond solitaire settings

Because it is the precious stone par excellence, often set
on engagement rings, bracelets, necklaces, and sometimes even wedding bands, diamonds pair perfectly with a white gold, rose gold, or platinum setting, for both men and women, and bring elegance and refinement to your appearance.

A unique diamond on a ring symbolizes the uniqueness of love. Its
central position on the ring allows it to capture maximum light. A 4-prong setting allows the diamond to be slightly more visible; a 6-prong setting offers greater security.

Solitaire diamond settings

The single diamond on the ring symbolizes the uniqueness of love. Its central position on the ring allows it to capture maximum light. A 4-prong setting allows the diamond to be seen slightly better; a 6-prong setting offers more security.

SHOULDER SET DIAMOND SOLITAIRES

This is the arrangement of three diamonds: a large center diamond flanked on each side by a diamond of the same shape or a different shape. This setting gives the piece a strong base, contributes to its brilliance, and symbolizes the solidity of a commitment.

MOUNTS WITH ROWS OF DIAMONDS

This type of ring creates an effect of extreme brilliance. The rows of diamonds concealing the setting seem to elevate the center diamond, making it a source of light.

TRILOGY RINGS

The ring is composed of three identical diamonds, each symbolizing a time: the past, the present, and the future. It represents the memory of moments shared together; a ring that seals and recalls feelings. This theme was developed to mark the transition to the third millennium.

You and I

The proximity of two stones of the same shape and size to symbolize balance and equity. An image of an inseparable couple, the "Toi et moi" ("You and me") remains a classic.

Our tips for maintaining your ring settings

In our Parisian House, gold is the main alloy used for our rings, earrings, wedding bands, and other jewelry models for women or men. In white gold, rose gold, or platinum, rings are certainly the piece of jewelry with the most important symbolic meaning. Indeed, engagement rings are the symbol of deep and eternal love, just like wedding bands, with the round shape of the ring synonymous with infinite love. White gold, rose gold, or yellow gold, this metal can sometimes tarnish over time due to the hazards of daily life. It is therefore important to properly maintain your rings so that they retain their quality, brilliance, and durability.

Regarding black rhodium-plated white gold, pay particular attention to the setting because the vintage style of these jewels is obtained by a process that blackens white gold: so be careful not to remove the black rhodium plating.

If you do not wish to use a jeweler or another jewelry professional, know that your home is certainly full of everyday products that can clean your rings and other jewelry. Maintaining your favorite gold ring presents no particular difficulty. However, it requires meticulous care. Use a cloth to gently rub your bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, precious stones, and other metals.

First of all, keep in mind that daily cleaning is to be avoided! Indeed, this could alter the quality of your jewelry because gold is an alloy that does not require daily cleaning.

Cleaning your white gold or rose gold ring can very well be done with water and soap. In principle, simply soak the jewel in a solution, gently rub it with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, rinse with water, and then let it dry inside a cotton cloth or a clean towel. For the basic solution, you can choose between a mixture of water and Marseille soap, water and baking soda, or hot water and white vinegar.

As is often the case with engagement rings, if your gold ring is set with precious stones, use a solution of lukewarm water and Marseille soap or dish soap. Other products may alter the quality of the gem. It is important to pay particular attention to your engagement ring because it is certainly the piece of jewelry with the most important symbolic meaning in your collection. Furthermore, since you generally wear this ring daily for the rest of your life, you must pay particular attention to the color of the metal as well as the quality of the stones so as not to alter the quality of the setting and also of the precious stones (such as sapphire, emerald, ruby, or diamond). The same applies to your wedding band. Rubies, sapphires, and emeralds are stones that require more meticulous care because they can easily scratch and lose their brilliance and color. For this, never use chemical products or toothbrushes that could scratch and alter the quality of your stones. Also, prohibit toothpaste on the stones or metals of your jewelry.

For satisfactory results, you can also use a toothbrush with lemon juice and gently rub your ring to make it shine and give it a new life. You can also simply soak it, rinse it by gently rubbing it in water with a few lemon zests.

For a white gold ring, particular attention is recommended. Indeed, the brilliance of the jewel comes from the fine layer of rhodium placed on the ring. Over time, this fine layer of rhodium wears away and makes the brilliance of your jewel much duller. Regardless of the brand, type, size, and model of your ring, be careful not to use any chemical products as they may alter its brilliance.

If you wish to pay more important and specific attention to your jewelry (especially wedding jewelry which represents your eternal love), choose to go directly to a jewelry professional who will return your ring clean and sparkling, as if new.
