Fancy-Cut stones - 5 photos

 In doing my 'mall walking for exercising' a few days ago, I saw a few photos on display kiosks that need a notes.

 As a Diamond Setter for the past 6 decades, I have seen some beautiful gemstone setting and here are some of them.

 On the point of the Triangular stones there are "V" claws. These are used for security and above all protection if the stone gets damaged. What I do is to "Bright-Cut" the inside edge of the "V-shaped" claw.

 

There are Triangular, small round and Emerald-cut stones, I had to take a few photos to share with you. 

 The "End-Bezel Setting" for the Emerald-Cut stone is filed and trimmed, as there shouldn't be any thick metal bars in holding the stone.

 The centre stone is set a higher-elevation than the two shoulder stones.

  Polishing of the Triangular-stone claws is required before the centre stone is set. I would even place this exquisite ring into a "Magnetic-Tumbler" as it's imperative that all claws be cleaned prior to setting.

 Once the stones are set, there isn't any chance to polish the claws again.
