It will look better if the periphery is set with broken diamonds. Of course, relatively speaking, silver is cheaper, and it would be better if rubies were set with platinum.
Inlay depends on the style and price. Generally, the quality of silver-inlaid gems is slightly lower, and the price will be lower. The general quality and price of gold inlays will also be high.
The inlay method of jewelry
Pointed mosaic: the most common and classic mosaic method. Metal claws (posts) are used to firmly fix gems.
Its advantage is that metals rarely hide gems. It can highlight the optical effect of gemstones to the greatest extent.
Nail setting: using the ductility of metal, at the edge of metal inlay, use tools to shovel out a few small nails to fix the gem.
However, on the surface, there is no metal or claw to fix the gem. In fact, gems are embedded in metal mortises.
Therefore, the advantage of this inlay method is that the gem can penetrate and reflect more light because it is not surrounded by metal, highlighting the dazzling light of the jewel.
Perimeter: also known as edging, as the name implies, it is a mosaic method that surrounds the periphery of a gem with a metal edge.
It is one of the most stable methods in inlay technology, and it is also a more traditional and common way, which fully shows the lightness, introverted luster, peace and dignified temperament of gems.
Generally speaking, for ordinary gems, such as ruby, sapphire, moonstone, emerald and so on. , the method of setting will be adopted. Because this kind of gem is relatively large, it is not strong enough to use pointed inlay.
