All diamond cuts can be set in a six-prong setting. It is most commonly used with round shapes, where the prongs enhance the diamond's natural form as it enhances the stone's symmetry and makes it appear even more round. The additional prongs outline the diamond and help create a balanced, well-proportioned look, accentuating its shape. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who want to highlight the classic, circular nature of their round diamond. However, while a six-prong setting works beautifully for many diamond shapes, it may not always be ideal for all diamond cuts. For example, diamonds that are smaller than half a carat may appear somewhat "overpowered" by the six prongs, as the prongs themselves can overshadow the stone, making it appear smaller than it actually is.
