Jewelry Q & A

I want to make a diamond ring ?

Q.My customer Swarowski is cutting Zirkonia especially for invisible setting in casting process. If he tells his dimanond cutter, what he want to do, He will recut his stones normally without problems.

A.Although the precision of the wording of the vision for the diamond ring may not have been exact, your explanation and generosity have given me fuel for thought. The impression will be 'paved' as you kindly suggested, and wonder now if the various sizes of the tiny gems will cause concern. The setting I will likely now leave in the hands of the jeweller. Given time, I can carve a nice shape, and ask if you have suggestions of what I might use to shape the mold from which the jeweller can cast the base for the ring. Not quite as daunting as one with no flight training wanting to go to the moon, it has nonetheless been done, because someone wanted it to; I won't suggest that the advice I ask is simple. ;| Since the shape you describe sounds as though the width, etc, of the various surfaces will be varying, it should be quite possible to lay out an arrangment of stones with varying sizes. In some cases, this actually works to the advantage of the design, while in others, it can slightly increase the amount of exposed metal. I wouldn't worry too much about that latter aspect, however. If the setting is well done, it will look like a single homgeneous surface with mostly the appearance of the diamonds, rather than obvious areas of metal. The small bits of metal used to hold the stones in (called beads) generally blend in quite well with the stones.
