A gemstone setting is the handcrafted material processing carried out by the gemstone setters to create a solid connection between the metal ( ring , chain , eyelet , needle , buckle , brooch ) and the gemstone to create a piece of jewelry .

Embodiments

Imperial crown : stone setting with filigree wire
Cup socket
The stone is not visible from the bottom. The socket resembles a kettle.
Chaton version
The stone is held in place by claws that are bent over the top of the stone. These claws are comparable to thin claws bent over at the top.
Incrustation
The stones are placed in recesses in the metal. The stones are attached by small balls, the so-called grains.
A-jour version
A processing that is interrupted by openings and encompasses the translucent gemstone. Light can thus fall into the transparent stone from all sides, so that the jewel comes into its own through refractions and reflections.
