There are many ways to set jewelry, but the commonly used method is pointed inlay.
The method of Prong setting is usually to make a pedestal (table) first, and then use a few "claws" to hold the gem up. Paw settings can be divided into two claws, three claws, four claws and six claws. There are two kinds of inlays: single inlays and group inlays. A single setting means that only 1 big gem is set on the ring holder, while a group setting includes auxiliary stones in addition to the main stone.
There is also a lollipop, similar to today's lollipops. Insert a precious metal wire into pearls or jade to fix it. This method is mostly used for hairpins and beads.
An older way of setting is to set precious metals around gems. The disadvantage is that the "wall" is too thin and the jewelry is easy to fall off; It's too thick, the style looks silly, and the jewelry looks small. The attached figure shows that the jewel in the middle has fallen off. ) Because the way the tips are inlaid can make the gems look bigger, more prominent and brighter. The surrounding mosaics are now in decline. (pictured)
