What Are Talon Prongs?
Talon prongs, also known as claw prongs, are more pointed and give your ring a sleeker feel! This prong style gets more narrow once closer to the stone and they help enhance/outline the stone. Our Alix engagement ring for example shows off talon prongs and gives the 10x7mm elongated oval an even sleeker appearance for those that fancy this ring style!

What Are Bubble Prongs?
Moving on to bubble prongs, this prong style is typically the go-to choice for engagement rings! These rounded prongs provide just the right amount of coverage to help support your center stone all while not stealing the spotlight from the center stone! Our popular Dakota engagement ring shows off this classic prong style in her oh so traditional solitaire setting.

Which Prong Style Is Better?
So the big question is, which prong style is better? Truthfully, there is no right or wrong answer! However, while aesthetics play a role when it comes to choosing this prong style, you’ll want to keep your lifestyle in mind, too! Although any prong style can snag on things such as clothing, blankets, etc., it’s even more likely to catch on something if your ring has talon prongs.
No matter the prong style, always be sure to practice mindful wear when rocking your ring(s) so that they can stay in tip top shape! To find out more ways to keep your ring(s) looking brand new, check out our helpful jewelry care tips page that shares everything you need to know.
