Semi Mount Ring Settings in San Mateo, CA
A semi mount ring gives you the setting without the center stone. You pick the style, metal, and design first, then choose your own diamond or gemstone to complete it. It is one of the smartest ways to get a ring that is truly personal without paying for a fully preset piece. At Maaz Jewelers, we carry 26+ semi mount ring settings in 14K white gold, starting at $729.
What Is a Semi Mount Ring?
A semi mount is a ring that already has the band, prongs, and accent stones set. The center stone is left open for you to fill. This means you control the most important part of the ring: the main diamond or gemstone. You can choose the shape, carat, and quality that fits your budget, whether that is a round brilliant, oval, princess cut, or something else entirely.
People often ask what the difference is between a semi mount and a full setting. Simple answer: a full setting comes with a center stone already in place. A semi mount lets you bring your own or buy one separately. That flexibility is why so many couples and individual buyers prefer this route.

Why Buy a Semi Mount Ring?
Most people come to semi mounts for one of three reasons. First, they already own a diamond, maybe from an heirloom piece or a previous setting, and want a fresh design around it. Second, they want to control their budget by separating the cost of the setting from the center stone. Third, they want a style that is not available in fully preset rings.
Ring settings without stones also make it easier to upgrade over time. If you start with a smaller center stone and want to move to a larger one later, the setting stays the same and only the stone changes. That is a practical option that fully preset rings do not give you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a semi mount ring?
A semi mount ring is a complete ring setting with accent stones already in place but no center stone. You add the center diamond or gemstone yourself. It gives you control over the most important and often most expensive part of the ring.
What diamond shapes work with semi mount settings?
Most of our settings are designed for round brilliant center stones, but we also carry semi mounts for oval stones and princess cut settings. When you browse, each product listing shows which center stone shapes it accepts.
Can I use my own diamond in a semi mount setting?
Yes. That is actually one of the main reasons people choose semi mounts. If you have a diamond from an heirloom ring or a previous piece, bring it in and we will check whether it fits your chosen setting. We do resetting in-store at our San Mateo location.
Are semi mount engagement rings good for couples on a budget?
Yes, they can be a smart option. You set the budget for the setting separately from the center stone, so you can allocate more toward whichever matters most to you. Starting prices here are $729 for individual ring semi mounts and $1,789 for bridal sets.
What does semi mount mean in jewelry?
Semi mount means the ring is partially set. The band, prongs, and any side or accent stones are in place, but the center stone position is left open. It is the opposite of a preset ring where everything is already set and not customizable.
