Hi I'm Tanmoy Chowdhury professional diamond setter 15 years experience and all types jewelry work I can do. Now I'm working in Egypt. Please help Now I'm looking work in UK
Im fascinated by the process of setting gems and have been reading up about it but seeing it actually being done demonstrates how much skill, precision and patience is required. Beautiful
THAT is AWESOME. Shows how imperfect diamond setting really is. Every prong is very different then each other. I have a 1993 Rolex Datejust with a factory diamond bezel and looking at it under a microscope the bead settings are almost flawless. Almost like a machine did it, but it didn't. No wonder Rolex settings are so much more than aftermarket bezel are. That is a beautiful ring, first class for sure. Thanks for the education.
When's the last time you saw a piece of real diamond jewelry that didn't have a hole drilled through behind every stone? Using that technique to determine the stones authenticity is common practice in the absence of a tester.
@Ian Sacks there's a difference between jewelry designed for stones and adding stones to any given piece of jewelry someone wants to dress up which is obviously what you're referring to. I design and cast custom pieces. My bulk comes from scrap and i can tell you I've NEVER pulled a fake diamond using that method. You did answer my question, if you're setting stones without drilling than I'm assuming they haven't been bringing you pieces with stones popping out.
Not to breathe- for cleaning. And it is the wearer’s choice, and smith catering to multiple options for the customers. For tiny micro pave setting it is impossible to allow a pilot hole underneath for cleaning.
@Ian Sacks lol- we set many stones in all pave and side by side settings. Definitely NOT a credible “method” for testing if a Diamond is real without a Diamond/moissanite tester.
