Design names of heads for Engagement rings.

 First of all, my apologies, the individual photos are blurred and not in 100% focus. This copying was from a single page that I found laying in a "pile of diagrams" in my home office.

 Basically, these photos are now a '3rd generation' and I've done the best that I could under the circumstances to keep them in focus.

 The "claw setting inscriptions" are difficult to view, from my own experiences, I will endeavour to describe the correct names.

=================================================

This is the page that I found for everyone and for you!

This name is "4-claw head, with a soldering peg". 

This is a "Double 4-claws, with longer claws".

This is a "4-claw, 'V'-shaped style" setting. Basically used for 'Princess-cut' square stones.

This is a "Full Bezel" setting. Be careful, as about 25% of the stone is covered with the bezel, pity!

Another name for this style of setting is a "Half Bezel". Much more of the diamond is exposed.

This is named an "End Bezel", this setting is only used with square stones.

 I learned that there are two names for this setting: "Trellis" or a "Lucida". Remember that much of the work is in the polishing that is prior to the diamond setting.

This is a "Tension" style of setting. Much of this diamond is nicely exposed.

 I'd name this ring top a "Bead" style setting this setting is Bright-Cut. You could use CAD (Computer Aided Designing) in creating the four mini-claws. The Milgraining effect could be used after the setting has been completed.

This is an easy name. It's an "8-claw Setting". Pre-polishing must be done prior to the diamond setting.

 This has a long name, ready? "4 claws in a Basket setting, with added diamonds". 

 

"Double, 4-claws in a Double-Frame, Basket setting".

"Four-Claws in a Flat-bottomed, Double Framed setting"

 Now you can increase your diamond-setting vocabulary. I hope that you enjoyed this 220th tutorial essay.
