POOR "4-claw setting" techniques => 9 diagrams

 These two diagrams explain "How the 4-Claw Setting" should look as these two diagrams are self-explanatory. 

The following 7 diagrams also let you know how they MUST NEVER BE SET.

 The Claw tips and Pavilion Facets are correctly molded to the claws. Under closer examination, there are no spaces anywhere near the stone. Fantastic stone-setting techniques are being used.

  

 The bearing-cuts are hollow and the claws will not hold the stone in place. The bottom of the bearing grooves are literally digging into the Pavilion facets.

 The Girdle Facet is not anywhere close to the holding groove, why is this?

 On the sides of the 4 claws are marks caused by poorly finished settings from the tools being used. The claw tips are not fully touching the stone. This will cause clothing to get caught and tear away the claw. God Bye expensive diamond.

 When there is a break in the metal, the whole claw tip will fall away and cause the stone to get loose.

 The claw looks nice, but it isn't even touching the stone. As of now, there is no security in the stone being set. This is another chance for clothing to get caught, poor stone setting. 

 Just 'where and how' is the stone being held into place, it is like the stone is just 'floating' in mid-air.

 The claw metal is too thin for any long-term usage. What is the immediate remedy? I suggest having a new head soldered into place and 'not to mess with re-tipping'.
