EF Studios’ Guide to Your Perfect Design
Anatomy Of A Ring
When designing your engagement ring with EF Studios, understanding the anatomy of a ring can bring clarity to the creative process and help you choose each element to suit your style perfectly. Here’s a breakdown of key ring components that can make your piece truly unique:

Setting Style
The setting secures the centre stone, influencing both the ring’s appearance and functionality. Popular setting options include:
- Prong Setting: A timeless option that holds the stone with prongs, maximizing light reflection for brilliance.
- Bezel Setting: A protective, sleek style where the metal surrounds the stone, ideal for active lifestyles.
- Halo Setting: A circle of smaller stones around the centre diamond, creating a dazzling, larger-than-life effect.
Each setting style can enhance the look of your chosen centre stone, adding personal touches that reflect your style.

Basket
The basket is the metal framework at the head of the ring, securely holding the gemstone in place.
Gallery Rail
The gallery rail is a support bar that adds strength to the basket, providing added stability for the gemstone.
Shank
The shank is the band of the ring that wraps around the finger, forming the part of the ring that provides structure and support.
