What are the features of these claw-settings => 14 photo's

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

 Here are detailed illustrations of "double-claw, 4-claw settings with screw-back posts".
 

 Here is the double-gallery of an Oval Cabochon stone similar to the pendant seen in the photo.

  This is a commonly used '4-claw setting' with a sturdy underneath post that are used for 1/2 carat engagment rings.

   This is a "V" shaped claw setting that is used primarily for "Princess-Cut" square diamonds.

 For a round stone, here are a pair of 'three-claw' earring studs.

 Here is my favourite claw setting for Marquise diamonds, why is this? 

This '6-claw head' will accomodate a Marquise stone that fits into the 'end claws'. I used this measuring as a reference when deciding which claw setting to purchase.

 If the stone didn't fit into the 'end claws'; I wouldn't purchase it.

                          

 This '6-claw, Marquise head' comes with it's own pre-shaped, end-claws that will be made easy for drilling for the stone.

The downside is that this head has little range of stones that can be used.

 

This double-bail has a double-basket for the Pear-Shape stone to sit.

                                       

                   

 This double-basket is for a large round pendant, also has a double- bail that is great for additional security. When polished, these pendants shine so very nicely.

       

 This very interesting pendant is used primarily for 'heart-shaped' stones.

 This "illusion setting" can be used in conjunction with smaller gemstones. The inside 4-claw settings sometimes come in white-gold, thus making the stones to look larger. 

 This particular claw setting is quite delicate to set. All of the security is resting at the joining of the 'pin to the lower basket'.

 Lastly, this earring is primarily used for smaller 'Princess-Cut' stones. Much care is needed when setting these little earring studs.
