A tapered setting is a type of diamond ring where the band of the ring gradually narrows as it approaches the center stone, creating a unique and elegant look. Look at how this gently tapered ring from James Allen paired with this 1.5-round brilliant True Hearts makes the diamond dazzle and appear large and as the focus point.

The tapered design of the setting can help to draw attention to the center stone and enhance its overall appearance. The diamond will be prominently displayed and can look more stunning than it would in a traditional setting.


Tapered settings are not as common as traditional settings, so they can add a unique touch to a diamond ring. The gradual narrowing of the band can also create an elegant and sophisticated look that is highly sought after.


Because the band narrows as it approaches the center stone, it can provide a more comfortable fit than other types of settings. This is because the ring will not feel as bulky or heavy on the finger.

Tapered settings can be used with a variety of diamond shapes and sizes, making them a versatile option for those who want to customize. If you look at this 1.5 carat princess cut set from WhiteFlash, you will see how the band narrows in the shank, which will make the diamond look larger and more brilliant.

**Note that the shank can also tap down the ring in the reverse direction. This means the thicker part of the band is near the main center diamond and it will get thinner as it leads to the bottom of the finger.
