Low vs High Setting

Two images of wedding band with engagement rings, one with a low set stone and one with a high set stone                          

Low Set Stone High Set Stone 
The Setting: The bottom of the stone is set into the band, as low to the finger as possible. The stone is set completely above the band.
Sparkle: More metal surrounds the stone, letting less light through. Less metal surrounds the stone, so light comes in on all sides, making it super sparkly.
Durability: The low setting protects the stone from getting hit or bumped by surfaces. Perfect for everyday wear. The higher the setting, the more exposed the stone is, and it can snag on clothing or bump and hit against surfaces. Great for special occasions but requires more care for everyday wear.
Comfort: Comfortable for daily wear. Depending on the style, the setting may cause the ring to turn on the finger or catch on surfaces and clothing and may be less comfortable for daily wear.
Stackability: Since the stone is set into the ring, it may bulge out more, and a standard band won't sit flush with the engagement ring. You may have to get a custom wedding band that curves around the stone. It can stack with any wedding band style!
