Odd-shaped diamonds set into a bracelet - 3 photos

 Is it possible to bead-set "Mein-Cut" diamonds? The answer is 'YES' and here is the proof in this essay. 
This plate had to be drilled and then the holes were specifically contoured to the exact proportions of each stone. 
The Rate of Difficulty was a resounding 20, out of 10. 

 

 The tools that I used in this project relied upon using Bud-shaped and Round burs. Every hole had to be cut into the 'exact proportions' to each diamond. 

 This rather unheard of method of 'filling in the spaces' on this plate was not my idea. Even today I find this method distasteful, I just did what my client wanted.
