Ring design is a mystery to many people despite rings being a common type of jewelry. Fortunately, everyone can still customize their engagement ring. Read on to find out about a way to have a hand in your ring’s design.
Semi Mount Diamond Ring Characteristics
Most engagement rings that you see in stores involve a central stone mounted on a designed background. A semi mount ring has the background design but lacks the main stone.
You will find many different types of backgrounds. Solitaire semi mounts are decorated with engravings, filligrees, or figural designs, and you pick the only stone that goes on it. An accented semi mount has little stones on the band. Beyond that, semi mounts come in many different types of gold and designs. A couple gets to pick the mounting that they find appealing and match it to the diamond they like best, though the stone does have to fit in the setting.
Advantages of A Semi Mount Diamond Ring
Choosing a semi mount ring gives you a degree of customization without too much hassle or expense. It may also be the best way to get a ring that has a colored gemstone or a rare cut of diamond such as an Asscher or cushion because ring makers often shy away from using these as focal stones.
That personalization is important when you consider that this may be the one piece of jewelry that you wear most days for the rest of your life. It’s even more important that you can upgrade your ring using a semi mount. You take the central diamond from the original ring and put it on a new background and you can keep the stone you love without dragging around a ring design you dislike.
Disadvantages of A Semi Mount Diamond Ring
Not everything about semi mounts is rosy. They are hard to re-size if your fingers grow, and buying the diamond separate from the mount isn’t always economical. They can also be relatively hard to find, since only some stores will carry them. They are more common at restyling events.
However, it is good to know that you have options when it comes to ring design. Be sure to explore all of them before settling on your favorite.
