Prongs are a popular jewelry setting that uses between 2-4 small, "metal claws" to secure a gemstone, typically elevating it above the band to maximize light exposure and brilliance. It offers a minimalist, elegant look that makes stones appear larger while allowing for easy cleaning. Our 16g prong jewelry options feature Swarovski crystals and are safe for initial piercings and are compatible with industry standard 16g/18g threaded backings.
