DELICIOUS DESIGNS

Every stone on every ring features a “cup” of metal under it that mirrors it’s diameter, protecting the stones from hitting on other rings (your engagement ring or stacking bands). It also protects the stones from other objects that consistently come into contact with it during daily wear. The cup shape is round and very comfortable on the finger.
@cupcakering features very special prongs (or in this case, “sprinkles”). Where traditional prongs look like a circle or dot of metal and are often shared, meaning one prong is used to hold two stones, @cupcakering is different. A much longer piece of metal covers a substantial part of the stones, v-shaped prongs are used and each stone is held in by its own dedicated prong. The “sprinkles” (the longer pieces of metal) give over three times the security of traditional prongs, leading to a much less likely outcome of stones becoming loose, or worse, a stone falling out. The “sprinkles”are less likely to catch on a sweater or hair.
