How Do I Become a Diamond Setter?

According to the different inlaying technology, it can be divided into channel setting, nail setting, tooth setting and aperture setting. Using a long metal claw (column) to fasten the diamond tightly, the biggest advantage is that the metal rarely covers the diamond, clearly shows the beauty of the diamond, and facilitates the light to enter and reflect at different angles, making the diamond look bigger and brighter .

Diamond setting can be divided into different types according to the setting process.

1. Narrow rectangle: Refers to a small rectangular diamond, usually used to highlight the setting of large stones.

2.

1) The claws (pillars) should closely fit the diamond. If there is a gap, the diamond will fall off on the one hand, and the claws (pillars) will become "barbs", which will easily scratch the skin and clothing when worn.

2) Whether the diamond inlay is straight. Take the jewelry and observe it from the side. Check whether the diamond table top or waist line is parallel to the horizontal plane of the jewelry.

3) Whether the diamond was damaged by the setting. When setting, the diamond may be damaged due to excessive force. You can use a magnifying glass to check whether there is a crack in the diamond setting.

4. The length of the metal inserts is moderate. The length of the setting jaw will block part of the light incident on the diamond, which will affect the diamond's fire color. The setting jaw is too short to grasp the diamond, which will easily cause the diamond to fall off.

5. The tips of the claws (columns) should be smooth. Touch the hands without thorns. The tips of the claws (columns) look like bright small balls, which are both beautiful and prevent the claws from hurting people.

6. The thickness of the metal edging is uniform, the height is the same, it is flat and smooth, there is no depression and no gap, and it closely fits the diamond.

7. If it is a group setting style, you should pay attention to whether each matching diamond is arranged neatly and whether the table surface is smooth.

Diamond inlaying refers to the process of making diamonds into a diamond jewelry by inserting or inserting diamonds into the gap and inserting them into the backing using a handicraft manufacturing method. Diamond inlay does not refer to a specific object, but a craft process of making diamond jewelry.

Diamond Setting Technology

There are many methods of diamond setting, namely mechanical setting method and resin setting method.

Diamond setting mechanical setting method

The specimens of the mechanical inlay method are placed in steel rings or small steel clamps, and then fixed with screws and spacers. This method is easy to operate and is suitable for inlaying samples with regular shapes.

Diamond inlay resin inlay

The resin inlay method is to use resin to inlay small metallographic samples, and any type of sample can be set into a certain size sample. Resin setting methods can be divided into two types: hot pressing and casting setting methods.

(1) Hot pressing mosaic method. The hot-press inlay method is to heat polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene or bakelite to a certain temperature and apply a certain pressure and heat for a certain time, so that the inlay material and the sample are firmly bonded together, and then the sample is ground . Hot press inlaying needs to be done with a setting machine.

(2) Pouring mosaic method.
