Some trellis settings overlap, while others adjoin at the base of the setting to rise and support either diamonds, gemstones or both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trellis style settings appear in solitaire, three stone and multiple gemstone ring designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solitaire trellis settings make a popular alternative to traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/education\/tiffany-setting-world-famous-ring-styles\">Tiffany-style settings<\/a>. It has become a popular design for solitaire engagement rings, designed for many diamond shapes. One of the original forerunners for this design was the Lucida engagement ring from Tiffany and Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/r1d059-pippa-x-prong-4-claw-round-diamond-solitaire-engagement-ring\">Pippa represents the perfect trellis setting for a solitaire diamond.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Pippa-trellis-ring.jpg\" alt=\"Pippa trellis style solitaire engagement ring\" class=\"wp-image-11236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Pippa-trellis-ring.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Pippa-trellis-ring-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Pippa-trellis-ring-768x671.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-princess-cut-trellis-settings\">Princess cut trellis settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lucia engagement ring is a Princess trellis setting.&nbsp;Sweeping claws cross to form the basis of this simple design. You will note that most trellis engagement rings include a small bar of metal bridging the claws. This under-bezel adds support. This ensures claws do not bend unnecessarily. Rigidity gives greater security to the diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer no under-bezel then expect heavier claws for greater strength. This can be&nbsp;seen in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/r1h019-antonia-wedfit-lucida-style-round-solitaire-engagement-ring\">Antonia engagement ring design<\/a>.

Or, maybe even a 5 stone trellis style. There are so many styles available supporting a wide range of diamond sizes. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/r3d010-brooklyn-3-stone-graduated-round-diamond-engagement-ring\">Brooklyn 3-stone Trellis setting<\/a> is popular for those people seeking a Trilogy ring design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Brooklyn features a Trilogy design with a trellis woven setting.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Brookly-setting-with-trellis-claws-three-stone-ring.jpg\" alt=\"Brooklyn trellis setting with three stone design\" class=\"wp-image-11239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Brookly-setting-with-trellis-claws-three-stone-ring.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Brookly-setting-with-trellis-claws-three-stone-ring-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Brookly-setting-with-trellis-claws-three-stone-ring-768x671.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-stone-trellis-engagement-ring-settings\">5 stone trellis engagement ring settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Very few trellis settings rival the Cersei 5 stone trellis ring design.
