Semi Mount Ring Settings in San Mateo, CA
A semi-mount ring gives you a setting without the center stone. Choose the style, metal, and design first. Then pick your own diamond or gemstone to finish it. It is one of the smartest ways to get a ring built entirely around your taste. Maaz Jewelers carries 26+ semi mount ring settings in 14K white gold. Prices start at $729. Whether you are looking for semi mount engagement rings, semi mount bridal sets, or diamond semi mounts for a stone you already own, our San Mateo showroom has what you need.
What Is a Semi Mount Ring?
A semi mount ring is a setting sold without its center stone. The band, prongs, and accent stones are already in place. The center spot stays open for your own diamond or gemstone. You control the most important part of the ring. Pick the shape, carat, and quality that fits your budget. Round brilliant, oval, and princess cut are the most common choices. This is exactly what semi mounts for diamonds are designed for.
What is the difference between a semi mount and a full setting?
A full setting comes with a center stone already in place. A semi mount leaves that spot open. This flexibility works well for couples, solo buyers, and anyone who already owns a stone they want to use. A semi mount ring means you are buying the setting and the stone separately, giving you full control over both decisions. This is why semi-mount rings consistently appeal to buyers who want something truly custom without the fully custom price.

Oval and Princess Cut Semi Mount Settings
Looking for something specific? We carry semi mounts for oval stones and princess cut semi mount settings for buyers who already have a shaped stone in hand or plan to purchase one soon. Oval semi mount ring settings are less common than round settings and suit buyers with an elongated stone who want a design built specifically around that shape. Princess cut semi mount settings deliver geometric sharpness that pairs beautifully with matching baguette or round accent diamonds in the band. These styles are sometimes called diamond mounts or ring mountings by buyers searching for settings for specific stone shapes. Whatever you call them, we have them.
Ring Settings Without Center Stones
All semi mount ring settings ship without a center stone. This works well if you have a family heirloom diamond to set. It also suits buyers purchasing a stone separately or planning that purchase for later. Ring semi mounts for gemstones are also available for buyers who want to use a colored stone rather than a diamond as the center. Sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and other gemstones work beautifully in our open-center settings. Ring settings without stones also make it easier to upgrade over time. Start with a smaller center stone, then move to a larger one later. The setting stays the same and only the stone changes. Fully preset rings do not give you this option.
Metal Options for Semi Mount Ring Settings
White Gold Semi Mount Ring Settings
White gold semi mount ring settings are our most popular metal choice. 14K white gold delivers a bright, clean finish that suits round, oval, and princess cut diamonds equally well. White gold semi mount rings also photograph beautifully and pair easily with platinum or silver jewelry.
Yellow Gold Semi Mount Ring Settings
Yellow gold semi mount ring settings suit buyers who want warmth and a more traditional aesthetic. Yellow gold semi mounts pair particularly well with round brilliant and cushion cut diamonds, where the warm metal enhances the stone’s natural color rather than working against it.
Gold Semi Mount Options
Gold semi mounts in both yellow and white 14K gold are available across our full collection. 14K semi mount rings and 14K gold semi mount rings hit the right balance between durability, value, and quality for everyday engagement and bridal wear. For buyers specifically looking for platinum semi mount ring settings or platinum semi mounts, please contact us directly. We work with trade buyers and can discuss platinum options for volume or specialty orders.
Why Buy a Semi Mount Ring?
Most buyers choose semi mount rings for one of three reasons.
You already own a diamond. This is the most common reason. A family heirloom diamond deserves a beautiful new setting. Semi mount ring settings are specifically designed for this situation. Is it possible to use a family heirloom diamond in a semi mount setting? Yes, and this is one of the most popular reasons buyers seek out diamond ring mountings in the first place.
You want to separate the costs. Buying the semi mount ring setting and center stone separately lets you budget each decision independently. You can invest more in the stone and choose a more modest setting, or vice versa. Ring settings without stones give you that flexibility.
You want a style not available in preset rings. The range of semi mount diamond ring settings available is wider than what you will find in fully preset designs. Unusual stone shapes, specific metal preferences, and custom accent diamond arrangements are easier to find in semi mount settings than in standard preset collections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a semi mount ring?
A semi-mount ring is a setting sold without its center stone. The band, prongs, and any accent diamonds are already in place. You add your own diamond or gemstone after purchase. This is the core of what semi-mounting means in jewelry terms.
What diamond shapes work with semi mount settings?
A full setting includes the center stone already set in place. A semi-mount leaves the center open for your own stone. Semi-mount rings give you control over the highest-cost and visual element of the ring.
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.
