In a cluster setting, the gemstones are mounted together in a cluster. The effect of the cluster is that it resembles a much larger diamond, or if it surrounds a large center stone like a halo, it can make that stone look larger than it actually is. Cluster settings can come in a variety of patterns and designs, and today it is popular to use the cluster setting in a mix of diamonds and colored gemstones. Cluster settings are also a favorite engagement ring setting.
