Gemstone setting is actually a very important part of jewellery making because without it, gemstones would not be able to be worn on people’s fingers, wrists and necks. In fact, over the past hundred years, jewellery artisans have created many distinctive methods of jewellery setting. Today, we will introduce a few common jewellery setting methods.
1. Claw setting The claw setting is probably the most common jewellery setting, and in fact it is the quickest and most practical, as it maximises the optical effect of the stone and minimises the masking of the stone. Depending on the number of prongs, there are two, three and six prongs.
The four-prong and six-prong settings are the most common, and they also maximise the splendour and elegance of the stone, and are simple yet elegant. According to the number of gemstones set, claw setting is also divided into solitaire setting and group setting. As the name suggests, we can actually guess that a solitaire setting is a setting of only one large stone, while a cluster setting is a setting where, in addition to the main stone, there are other side stones set next to the main stone.
The secondary stones are actually smaller stones than the main stone. In a cluster setting, the side stones are usually set before the main stone. 2.
