"AM I READY TO START SETTING NOW"?
What does a setter have to
know prior to the actual setting of a gemstone or even the Diamond?
As the ring is now finished from the "Preparation Stage" from the casting and the jewellers hands. He must observe and ask
himself these many important questions!
Here are a few 'Basics' to watch out for!
A) Are there any PIN-HOLES? Fix them NOW!
B) Are the selected diamonds going 'TO
FIT PROPERLY'?
C) Are all of the diamonds 'THE CORRECT & UNIFORM SIZE'?
D) Are the stones 'THE
CORRECT COLOUR'?
E) Are there any 'INCLUSIONS
TO WATCH OUT FOR'?
F) Are the holes for setting 'CORRECTLY SPACED'?
G) Have the correct 'SETTING INSTRUCTIONS BEEN PROVIDED'?
H) Is the 'DEPTH OF THE METAL
SUFFICIENT FOR “BEAD-SETTING'?
I) Will the stone 'CULET PROTRUDE THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE GOLD', just measure from the “Table-facet to the Culet” PRIOR TO SETTING! If the Culet is being felt & protruding, please don't start on the setting!!
J) Is the 'RING SIZE CORRECT'?
K) Are the 'TRADE-MARK STAMPS
PROPERLY ASSIGNED'?
L) Are the 'CLAWS IN THE
RIGHT POSITION'?
M) Are the 'UNDERNEATH HOLES
COUNTERSUNK'? A.K.A. "AZURE".
N) Is this ring adequately 'PRE-POLISHED'?
O) Is this 'THE CORRECT COLOUR OF METAL
& KARAT'?
And above all, when finished, will you be proud of your creation?
