Choosing the Right Setting

The right jewellery setting can elevate a piece from ordinary to extraordinary, but with so many options available, how do you choose?

Start by considering the gemstone. Cabochons, with their smooth and domed surfaces, pair well with bezel or prong settings, while faceted stones often shine best in claw or tension settings that let light pass through.

Next, think about the design style. Do you want something classic and timeless, or bold and contemporary? Your choice of setting will influence the overall look of the piece.

Finally, consider your skill level. If you’re a beginner, simpler settings might be a good starting point. Advanced jewellers may prefer more intricate designs that require detailed work.
