Double Prongs & Unique Prong Styles: Customize Your Engagement Ring with Elevated Detail
When it comes to designing a custom engagement ring, even the smallest detail can make a big impact—especially when it comes to prongs. Customizing your ring with double prongs or a variety of prong styles can elevate your center stone while offering extra security and refined beauty. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look or a vintage-inspired touch, customizing your prongs is a subtle yet powerful way to make your ring truly personal. At Laura Preshong, we specialize in made-to-order engagement rings that start with our signature designs and become uniquely yours through meaningful customization.

What Are Double Prongs on an Engagement Ring?
Double prongs feature two narrow prongs at each corner or point of the center stone, rather than the traditional single prong. This design is especially popular for fancy-cut stones like ovals, emeralds, marquise, or pears—where extra security and visual balance matter.
Benefits of Double Prongs:
-
Elegant symmetry, especially for elongated shapes
-
Adds a subtle vintage or architectural touch
- Enhanced security for your center stone
Whether you choose rounded, button-style tips or sharper claw-like points, double prongs provide both function and style.
Customized Prong Options at Laura Preshong
There are several ways to customize the prongs on your engagement ring—whether you're starting with one of our signature solitaire settings or something more intricate.
Here’s how you can tailor your prongs:
-
Prong Style: Choose between button prongs (rounded, soft, vintage-inspired) or claw prongs (sharper, more modern and refined).
-
Single vs. Double Prongs: Upgrade a standard single-prong setting to double prongs for extra detail and support—or simplify an existing double-prong design to a sleeker single prong.
-
Prong Count: Adjust your setting from four prongs to six for enhanced security—or reduce from six to four for a more minimal, open look.
-
Prong Orientation: Change to compass prongs (north-south-east-west orientation) for a geometric feel, or convert a compass setting to a standard orientation for a more traditional layout.
These customization options give you control over both form and function, letting you fine-tune your ring’s look in a meaningful and beautiful way.
Can I Customize the Prongs on My Ring?
Yes! Prong customizations are one of the most-requested upgrades we offer. You can adjust the prong style, count, and orientation on most of our signature engagement ring designs. It's a great way to add personality and enhance durability—without altering the entire ring.
At Laura Preshong, you can add up to two customizations per design. Prong modifications can be paired with options like a hidden halo, pavé band, or interior engraving to create a ring that feels entirely your own.
Our Customization Process at Laura Preshong
Unlike traditional custom design, our process starts with one of our thoughtfully designed signature settings—and lets you personalize it with up to two custom elements, like a pavé band or hidden halo. It’s a simple process that gives you the feeling of a custom ring without the complexity of starting from scratch.
