Characteristics of Channel Wedding Bands
Channel wedding bands are a classic style that's becoming increasingly popular with modern brides-to-be looking for timeless sophistication. Channel settings secure diamonds at the girdle (the widest part of the stone's circumference) between two strands (like a channel) of precious metal. The stones are secured in grooves on both sides. Popular diamonds for channel settings include princess- and emerald-cut stones due to the nice flush fit these shapes allow. The traditional setting is clean, streamlined, and flush surface areas offer protection against damage to the stone.
Popular Channel Wedding Band Collections
Northeastern Fine Jewelry carries some of the most respected and trusted designers on the market. For example, ArtCarved is crafted with exquisite attention to detail, from the finest metals to the most vibrant gemstones. ArtCarved's mission is to help couples remember the special moments in life with quality jewelry. Northeastern Fine Jewelry carries the timelessly beautiful Contemporary and Classic Collections. Hearts on Fire is another popular designer. Hearts on Fire is responsible for the world’s first branded diamond: the "world's most perfectly cut diamond." The symmetrical cut and increased surface area of HOF diamonds produce maximum brilliance and "fire" by capturing light and reflecting it up through the top of the stone.
Additional Channel Wedding Band Collections
Handcrafted in Southern California, Tacori is known for its signature design element: the crescent detailing created by interlocking half-moon arcs. The crescent design is found in many of their collections but most notably in their engagement and wedding rings, like the Classic Crescent, Sculpted Crescent, RoyalT, and Reverse Crescent collections. Simon G. creates designs using only the highest-quality, 100% conflict-free diamonds. Their white gold only contains trace amounts of nickel (most white gold on the market contains 5-8%), making Simon G. a dependable brand for those with metal allergies. Collections include the Modern Enchantment and Men's Wedding Bands.
