What Is an Invisible Setting?
The invisible setting technique was developed in France more than two centuries ago. Grooves in each stone's girdle slip into a metal framework below the surface, but the metal cannot be seen, so gemstones sit side-by-side where they create the appearance of a solid surface of gems.Jewelry designers use invisible setting techniques to create the illusion of larger diamonds in engagement rings and wedding rings. Like the ring above, with a prong set, round, brilliant cut center diamond that's surrounded on the sides by princess cut diamonds in an invisible setting.
