Stone Setting

Checked after setting

Once the stones are set, we check how securely each stone is held, its alignment and the absence of play, as part of our quality control.

Craftsmanship from start to finish

Stone setting is part of our whole manufacturing process, from 3D modeling to finishing: discover every stage on our Our Services page. To learn about our commitments after delivery, see our warranty conditions.

Stone setting jewellery Tunisia: setting a pavé ring at the bench

Stone setting is a traditional technique that requires exceptional craftsmanship. Each diamond is manually set to ensure it is perfectly held in place by the metal.

There are several setting methods, such as using prongs or inserting stones between two metal channels. Manual setting remains the most reliable way to ensure a secure and lasting setting.

Hand stone setting for jewellery in Tunisia

At Atelier KBS, stones are set by hand at the bench. The metal is worked around each stone to hold it firmly, with no play. We set pavé rings and halo solitaires as well as diamond rivière bracelets.

Types of stone setting

Depending on the piece and the stones, we use different techniques, including prong setting and channel setting, where the stones are inserted between two channels of metal. To discover every type (bar, bezel, channel, prong and pavé settings), see our page on types of stone setting.

Choosing your stones

The choice of stone influences the most suitable type of setting. To compare stones, their qualities and their uses, see our stone guide.
