What's the Difference Between Eagle Claw Prongs & Standard Prongs?
For those of you designing an engagement ring, the process can be challenging and you want to make sure you get every single detail correct, even down to the prongs!
So when we ask our clients if they want what's called "Eagle Claw Prongs" or "Standard Prongs" for their engagement, sometimes it's just easier to show the difference rather than talk about it.
The difference between the two settings is below! See which style of prongs is right for you: eagle claw prongs or standard prongs (standard ball prongs).
Standard Prongs (or Standard Ball Prongs)
