Discussions and illustrations describe how diamonds are set in
specific settings, the procedures and techniques detailed in this book will help the diamond setter advance in his skills
This manual was designed as a reference source for common diamond setting procedures. It is intended for experienced professional diamond setters, and students under the supervision os a qualified diamond setting instructor. The text is divided into seventeen units of instruction based on a series of actual professional case studies. Each unit includes discussions and illustrations that describe how to set diamonds into a particular type of mounting. They are presented in a step by step sequence of events as recorded during the time of setting. Opional techniques are suggested throughout the manual for a variety of circumstances.
Generally, there are seven basic phases to any diamond setting procedure. These are:(1)Inspect the mounting and the diamond,(2)Layout/planning, (3)Cut the bearing, (4)Seat the diamond, (5)Secure the diamond, (6)Finishing, and (7)Final inspection. The average student can learn these quickly from the basic diamond setting procedure at the begging of this manual. However each subsequent unit is designed as a stepping stone for the next. They are progressively more complex, and depend in part on the information presented in the previous units. In essence, this manual will provide an opportunity for diamond setters to progress to higher echelons of diamond setting. This can only be done by first taking time to perfect the fundamentals of basic diamond setting skills.
