Low vs In-between vs High Setting

Three images of wedding bands with engagement rings, showing them with low, in-between, and high set stones                          

Low Set Stone In-between Set Stone High Set Stone 
The Setting: The bottom of the stone is set into the band, as low to the finger as possible. The stone sits slightly above the band, but not completely. The tip of the bottom of the stone is inside the band. The stone is set completely above the band.
Durability: The low setting protects the stone from getting hit or bumped by surfaces. Perfect for everyday wear. An in-between setting is less likely to get hit or bumped by surfaces than a high-set stone, but is a bit more vulnerable than a low-set stone.  The higher the setting, the more exposed the stone is, and it can snag on clothing or bump and hit against surfaces. Great for special occasions but requires more care for everyday wear.
Comfort: Comfortable for daily wear. A good balance between comfort and style. May catch on some surfaces and clothing. Depending on the style, the setting may cause the ring to turn on the finger or catch on surfaces and clothing and may be less comfortable for daily wear.
Stackability: Since the stone is set into the ring, it may bulge out more, and a standard band won't sit flush with the engagement ring. You may have to get a custom wedding band that curves around the stone. It can stack with almost any band that fits underneath the setting.  It can stack with any wedding band style!
