On this beautiful Spring day we are going to talk about settings and I am going to show you beautiful jewellery made by the goldsmiths at Jewel Envy highlighting different settings.
There are many types of settings. There is claw setting (where the stone is held in place by prongs/ claws) and sometimes look like eagles claws. There is flush setting where a hole is drilled into the metal for the stone and then set. There is bezel setting where the metal surrounds the stone on all sides in most cases. There is tube setting where tubing is used in metal like sterling and karat gold and its for the stone to sit inside the tube.
The first one we will be looking at are earrings made by Alexis. They are pink tourmalines. And a pendant made by Gillian in 14k yellow gold with a yellow sapphire surrounded by flush set champagne diamonds then a marquise cut orange diamond below. They are both claw settings!


Next we have tube set diamonds in 14k yellow and white gold in ring by Eunice

Then we have a bezel set rutilated quartz in sterling silver by Jen.

Last but not least we focus on flush setting. Ring by Jennifer that are flush set black spinels. Pendant by Hayat with a purple amethyst.
