Four vs. Six-Prong: Which Style Is Better?

Four vs. Six-Prong: Which Style Is Better?

When it comes to prong styles, there are two different kinds that you can choose from: four and six. We’re here to share if one style is truly better than the other, as well as some examples of our rings that rock each prong style. Let’s hop in!
 

Is One Prong Style Better Than The Other?


This is a common question that we receive here at the shop and truthfully, it all boils down to aesthetic preference! Some people like a more metal look with six-prongs, while others prefer the opposite and let the center stone have its moment. Not only that, the way prongs are set can make the stone "have a different appearance". Six-prongs tend to make stones appear more rounded and smaller, and four prongs make a stone appear more square and larger. 
While technically your stone will have some extra security with six-prongs, if both prong styles are worn mindfully, your ring will be just fine!
 

Ring Styles


Now let’s get to the fun stuff - the rings! Here are some of our classic rings that don each prong style.

Skinny Webster


A classic round cut ring with six-prongs! Our Skinny Webster engagement ring is a sweet and traditional piece that features six-prongs around her round cut moissanite center stone. This ring style will require a curvy band due to her basket shape.

Skinny Lexus


Skinny Lexus is an oval solitaire stunner that also features six-prongs. In a way, the six-prong look makes the stone look like it has a totally different shape which kind of brings an interesting look to the piece. Unique right?!
