A noted jewellery company posted their photos into a fantastic book and here they are with my individual notes explaining the gem-setting details.
The bead-setting appears to be hand-crafted and not CAD created. The diamond setting skill is just SUPERB. All of the metal cutting was completed before any stone was set.
The skill involved in diamond setting is just one word 'WONDERFUL' (but not perfect). I will explain further into this essay.
The 'separation of the beads' around each stone, is a testament to the high quality of gem setting of the manufacturer.
The 'wavy lines' displayed here, was from another stone setter. There is a modicum of graver skills involved in the cutting, there mustn't be any 'extra' metal around any diamond.
I enjoy seeing the gradual shading of gemstones from dark-blue to deep yellow. This like a painting on a canvass. Then the center has another strong colour of green, "Bon Gout" aka good choice!
This Diamond Setter displayed absolute quality in the craft. Each bead stands like 'a little pillar' securing every diamond. BTW, all of the metal cutting was completed prior to the final stone setting.
As in a 'swath of colour' these gemstones were specifically contoured to fit into the Channel Setting. Even the diamonds were specially made to fit the ends of each channel.
There was much planning as to where each size of diamonds was to be placed. The larger diamonds 'were prepared in metal' just to be seen at the center of the many curves.
It's great to see that the corners of each section are cleaned and having a good range of diamonds being set throughout.
The many variety of colours gives credence to the designing ability of the craftspeople.
I have just one word to describe these jewellery photos "SUPERB".
