The trellis engagement ring setting is a type of prong setting featuring prongs that interweave to securely hold the center diamond. Instead of standing side by side with no connection, as the typical prong setting does, here the prongs are curved to crossover.
The four-prong setting is the most popular, but this setting works well with any number of stones. Three stone and five stone trellis rings are also highly popular because of the symbolism of those ring designs.

The trellis setting is very versatile as it can be decorated in several ways. The setting can be left plain or embellished with melee diamonds, fancy metalwork like milgrain or filigree and given an ornate gallery to heighten the effect. It adds a little more to a prong setting and makes the sides of the ring as beautiful as the top view.
