Description
A complete and practical guide to using precious and semi-precious stones in any metal – from traditional settings to contemporary looks.
This is a detailed, technical guide to stone-setting for jewellers of all levels, from jewellery students to professional jewellers. It explores traditional, modern and experimental approaches to stone-setting, from the purely functional to design-led solutions for securing stones.
The Guide to Gemstone Settings takes you through the entire process of setting stones from choosing a suitable stone, designing and making the setting, to seating and setting the stone. The extensive setting techniques are combined with step-by-step demonstrations, precise diagrams and images of contemporary work from international jewellers. A comprehensive reference section, featuring an illustrated glossary, makes this book an essential stone-setting resource.
Discover the most up-to-date reflection of current practice and technology through demonstrations produced using 3D modelling software and learn about skills and techniques which are presented with expert accuracy.
