The jewelry industry has a centuries-old history. During this time, craftsmen have invented a huge number of methods for setting stones in settings. As technology developed, they became more and more complicated. Today there are more than 50 methods of setting by types of settings. Let’s try to understand this variety.<\/p>\n
There are 4 main groups of stone setting types: bezel setting, prong setting, corner setting and special setting.<\/p>\n
The group of nesting settings includes two subgroups: bezel settings and bezel settings.<\/p>\n
In a blind setting, the stone lies in a blind nest and has no access to light from below. It is held in place by vertical walls whose edges are pressed against the stone. Most often, blind setting is used to fix opaque stones and inserts. The advantages of this type of fixing: the stone looks larger, also this method of fixing helps to camouflage cracks on the girdle of the stone. Transparent stones in this setting look brighter due to the reflection of metal in the inner part of the stone. If it is necessary to add light, often use a cut or openwork setting: in this case, vertical walls are cut for more illumination of the stone.<\/p>\n

Rim settings are more often used for mounting transparent and translucent inlays. The stone in it rests on a support band, which is located on the inner side of the setting and is fixed by pressing the metal (rim) around the perimeter. Due to the fact that the light penetrates from above and below, transparent and translucent stones play especially brightly in the bezel setting.<\/p>\n

Krapan settings are by far one of the most popular ways to secure a stone. The inlay is held in place by krapan feet. They encircle the stone along the edges, allowing sunlight to penetrate the stone from all sides. Depending on the type of setting, the number and shape of krapans can be different.<\/p>\n
The following types of krapan frames are distinguished:<\/p>\n

Corner setting is a method of fixing stones directly in the metal. In this case, the insert is fixed with the help of small posts (corners), which are formed from the main metal of the setting with a special tool. The jeweler selects a part of the metal in the form of a chip and presses it to the facets of the stone. At the same time, the upper part of the chip is rolled into a hemisphere by a corneur.<\/p>\n
The following types of corning frames are distinguished:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Micro pave” implies the placement of a very large number of small inserts of the same size: the influx of metal holds three nearby stones at once, thanks to which it seems that the product consists of one large stone. A printed setting is a variation of the “tictus” pave. In it, the corners are soldered as pins rather than cut from metal.<\/p>\n

This group of fasteners unites quite a variety of types of frames that have also found their place in the jewelry industry.<\/p>\n

Despite the variety of setting types, it is safe to say that the most popular are the krappan ones. They provide a good view of the stone and a secure hold, as well as being easy to maintain.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
