Question 1

What is a channel set wedding band?

Accepted Answer

A channel set wedding band holds a row of diamonds inside a channel — a groove cut between two raised metal walls. The walls grip the edges of the stones and hold them flush with the surface, with no prongs. The result is a smooth, protected line of diamonds around the band.

Question 2

Round or baguette diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Round diamonds set in a channel give a bright, sparkling line of light. Baguette diamonds — long, rectangular step-cut stones — give a smooth, modern line with broad flashes rather than sparkle. Both sit flush between the channel walls, so the choice is about the look you prefer.

Question 3

Is a channel setting secure and durable?

Accepted Answer

Very. The two metal walls cover the whole edge of each diamond and there are no prongs to bend or snag on clothing. That makes a channel set band one of the most secure and low-maintenance ways to set diamonds, so it suits active hands and everyday wear.

Question 4

Can you resize a channel set band?

Accepted Answer

The channel of diamonds runs around much of the band, so there is little plain metal to cut and rejoin. That makes a channel set band harder to resize than a plain band. Order your exact ring size, or ask our gemologists to help you measure before you buy.

Question 5

How much is a channel set wedding band?

Accepted Answer

The price depends most on the number and size of the diamonds and your metal choice, so a channel set band costs more than a plain band of the same width. Because ours use lab grown diamonds, your budget goes further. Prices change daily, so we show today's live prices below.

Question 6

Which metal can I choose?

Accepted Answer

Every channel set band comes in 14K or 18K gold — yellow, white or rose — or in platinum. Platinum and white gold keep the diamonds looking bright and are very durable for daily wear. Yellow and rose gold give a warmer frame around the line of diamonds.
