Prong Settings

Also known as a claw setting, the prong setting is the most common setting used for nose studs. The diamond or gem is inserted into three or more metal or gold prongs that form a basket-like base. This allows the diamond or gem of your nose stud to be held securely in place. The prongs are bent over and shaped so the gem does not fall out. This setting can be used with other nose jewelry as well, such as nose pins and nose screws. It is also very popular with diamond earrings and rings.
