The Rub-Over setting is a design which is a close-runner for popularity as the traditional claw setting. It is probably less popular for retailers \/ manufacturers because diamond size needs to be precise, and there is far less tolerance for pre-designed settings. This is especially true where fancy shapes are concerns. In fact, where some fancy shapes (more diverse in measurement than rounds \/ Princess cuts) are concerned, settings are normally built around the diamond, ensuring the metal edge follows the diamond girdle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4146\" title=\"Rub-over-setting-engagement-ring-with-matching-wedding-ring\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Rub-over-setting-engagement-ring-with-wedding-ring1.jpg\" alt=\"Matching flat court profile wedding band\" width=\"550\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Rub-over-setting-engagement-ring-with-wedding-ring1.jpg 393w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Rub-over-setting-engagement-ring-with-wedding-ring1-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>As you can no doubt see from our main image, the Rub-Over setting holds the diamond in place within a continuous (see partial bezel settings for other instances) edge of metal. This can be cast or hand-made and most sizes and shapes of diamond can be set in this way. The edge of the metal almost appears to frame the diamond with very clean lines &#8211; a style that has become very popular for modern engagement ring styles.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of this contemporary design only strengthens when a wedding ring is matched to the design, so that both band profiles mirror one another.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Rub Over Setting?
