Invisible Settings:
Invisible-set
diamonds are placed tightly next to each other with the metal of the
setting concealed underneath the diamonds, allowing them to form a
continous surface.
Invisible
Settings Advantages: It enhances brilliance because there's no metal
on top of the stone to impede the entry of light.
Invisible
Settings Disadvantages: If not properly set, small square stones may
fall out with hard wear. It is usually more time consuming and
expensive than prong and bead setting. It is risky setting method, in
terms of damage to the stones, so it should not be used for fragile gems. |
