Six Prong Engagement Rings

Cushion cut diamond held by six claw prongs in a six petal tulip basket on a yellow gold split shank, back angle

Six prong engagement rings, six claws, six petals underneath.

A six prong engagement ring holds the diamond at six points, so it looks rounder and softer from the top and every prong has a neighbour close by. On our tulip baskets the six claws become six petals underneath. Our listed six petal rings start at $3,300 CAD with a 2 carat lab grown diamond in 14K gold.

Four prongs or six?

Four show more diamond and give a round a squarer, more modern outline, but they need a hidden halo or gallery rail tying them together underneath. Six hold the stone at six points, look rounder and softer, and become six tulip petals that support each other. On a round that leaves no room, and no need, for a hidden halo; on an oval we can still add one for sparkle, as on our oval six petal with a hidden halo. Both side by side in 4 vs 6 prongs on a round diamond.

What is a claw prong?

A prong that tapers to a fine point over the stone, like a claw, so less metal covers the diamond. Most of our six prong rings use claws. Double claws split each prong in two (Coley and Julian's 4.28 carat moval has six of them), and V prongs protect the points of a marquise or pear. How prongs should line up is in how prongs should sit.

Questions we get

Are six prongs more secure than four?

Six hold the stone at more points and every prong has a neighbour close by if one takes a knock. On a round, four need a hidden halo or gallery rail to tie them together.

Do six prongs make a diamond look smaller?

They cover a little more of the edge and make the outline rounder. Four show more diamond.

Is a six prong setting good for an oval?

Yes. The claws can sit evenly or only on the sides, so the ends of the oval show.

What are double claw prongs?

Each prong split into two fine claws. Coley and Julian's 4.28 carat moval is held by six of them.

How much is a six prong engagement ring?

Our listed six petal rings start at $3,300 CAD with a 2 carat lab grown diamond in 14K gold, as of October 2026.
