How are solitaire diamonds fixed in an engagement ring?

Let’s take an example of a gold solitaire ring. This is a ring that has a single diamond right at the centre embedded into a gold metal ring. 

The diamond or a gemstone is fixed on the ring with the help of a prongs, which are small wires that bind the stone. Prongs act like a claw that hold a diamond in place in a visually subdued way. Prongs are welded to the band to ensure the diamond's safety. Prongs suspend the stone high enough off of the band to show its size and detailed beauty.
