gem setting
Gem setting is the process of securely placing gemstones into jewelry, such as rings, necklaces, and earrings. This technique enhances the beauty of the gemstone while ensuring it is protected and held firmly in place. Various methods, including prong, bezel, and pave settings, are used depending on the design and type of jewelry.
The choice of setting affects not only the appearance but also the durability of the piece. A well-set gem can catch light beautifully, showcasing its brilliance and color. Skilled artisans, often referred to as jewelers, use specialized tools to achieve precise and secure placements.
