Which gemstone gets set FIRST? => 7 photos

 In the photos that I've collected, some rules need to be answered. These rules ask the simple question, "Which gemstones get to be set first and how?" 

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

 I saw this ring sitting in a jewellery kiosk with no information supplied except for the price. My mind began to think how was this ring put together? With my 65 years of experience, I formulated a plan on 'how would I assemble this ring'?

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

 From what I see is that there are 5 sizes of diamonds being used.

1) The first diamond size is in the engagement ring. These stones will circulate around the finger.

2) The next size of diamonds are the stones that are sitting ON the band. At least two sizes are been shown in this photo.

3) The largest diamonds being shown are on the top level laying flat.

4) In between the Pink stones and the Engagement ring stones are those that are from another separate casting. This ring was manufactured in (estimated) three pieces.

 EACH SECTION MUST BE THOROUGHLY 'CLEANED & POLISHED' BEFORE BEING SOLDERED TOGETHER.

5) The pink stones are to be gently set. The ring must now be polished and made ready for the 'Yellow' centre stone.

1) This Beaded Set of earrings is quite awkward to manufacture. The centre section has to be placed into a holding device, namely on a Shellac stick. But it should not be soldered to the yellow frame just yet. 

2) There is no, or little "Bright-Cutting" necessary for this 'curved plate'.

 The shoulder Diamonds have 3 sizes of stones. The largest 4 stones are situated on the top and bottom sections and then 4 more on the corners. The remaining 6 stones are on the sides. If you don't plan ahead, then this expensive ring will look 'just average'.

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

 This cluster ring is been displayed in full Ruby or Emerald stones. It is an amazing "Piece of Art" worthy of being shown in my blog. Although it is composed of multiple sections I was awestruck by its complexity. I believe it contains 7 sections of claw-setting. Each section is made for each separate size of stone.

 Just an amazing choreography of sections.

   I'm hoping that when you see such artwork as seen in these blogs, try and take a few photos of them for your archives like I do.
