The term "invisible set diamond ring" means what it implies: it's a special form of diamond ring in which the diamonds are set so cunningly that no metal is visible -- no prongs, no beads, no channels. This doesn't mean that the stone is glued on (can you say "tacky?"), only that the setting itself isn't obvious. Invisible set diamond rings use a variation of the pavé setting that requires a special kind of stone as well as a special setting. Therefore, invisible set diamond rings always have multiple square-cut stones, since this is required in order for the invisible setting to work. In most invisible set diamond rings, the stones are arranged in a metal border, frame, or track, in such a way that none of the binding metal shows, at least from the top. Look at a typical invisible set diamond ring, and you'll see that the stones are set flush with one another. If invisible set diamond rings are done well, they present a fine display of gemstone uniformity. Because this type of setting requires square stones, princess-cut diamonds are most often used in invisible set diamond rings.
