Frequently Asked Questions
A pendant setting is a metal framework used in jewellery making to securely hold a gemstone, creating a pendant. It is designed to attach the stone to a necklace, providing both support and a decorative element. Pendant settings come in various styles and sizes to accommodate different types of stones and design preferences.
To set pendant settings with loose stones:
- Choose the Right Setting: Select a setting that fits the size and shape of your stone.
- Position the Stone: Carefully place the stone into the setting, ensuring it sits level.
- Secure the Stone: Depending on the type of setting, use appropriate tools and techniques to secure the stone in place. This may involve bending prongs, pushing a bezel over the stone, or using adhesive for cabochon settings.
- Attach to a Chain: Once the stone is secured, the pendant can be attached to a necklace chain.
Common types of pendant settings include:
- Bezel Cups / Cabochon Settings: Encircle the stone with a thin metal rim, suitable for stones with a flat back surface.
- Basket Settings: Feature a metal basket-like structure with prongs to hold the stone.
- Claw / Prong Settings: Use claw-like prongs to grip and showcase the stone.
- Bespoke Settings: Custom-made settings designed for unique or irregularly shaped stones.
