The 14k Gold Double Prong Set Round Fixed Ring is a very secure piece and it also will show off a little more Gold then the average setting. It can be made for either a vertical or horizontal piercing, and you have your choice of either 14k White or Yellow Nickel Free Gold. The choice is totally up to you. The gem setting is attached ( fixed ) to the ring for security so that the gem will never get lost and also for the ease of use, because you will not have to fumble with the beads. This is just another way to help keep you body jewelry in place and always facing the same way.
