mirror setting Explanation: A variation on this is called a mirror setting, so named because it presents a flat highly polished surface that surrounds the stone as if it was set into a mirror. http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/stone-setting-12-1.htm |

illusion setting Explanation: "Illusion setting A type of prong setting, this technique adds a faceted, shiny metal plate around the girdle of a diamond or gemstone. The reflective plate makes the stone appear larger and more brilliant." http://www.helzberg.com/category/education/settings.do "This setting is more intricate than others in that it surrounds the stone to make it appear larger. The metal that surrounds the stone usually has an interesting design." http://www.robbinsbrothers.com/Illusion-Setting.ring "If you want to buy a good quality diamond, but can't afford anywhere close to that amount, what should you do? One approach is to have the diamond mounted in a setting which shows off the diamond by making it appear larger than it really is. The light that is collected and reflected by the diamond is also reflected off the shiny white surfaces of the setting, giving the appearance of a larger stone--hence the term illusion setting." http://viridian-gold-nuggets.blogspot.com/2008/03/what-is-il... "In the Illusion setting the metal that surrounds the stone usually has a special design and makes the diamond appear larger. One of the more complicated diamond setting." http://www.antwerp-tourist-guide.com/diamond-setting.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2012-02-13 17:04:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another example http://www.ejewelrysale.com/product-details.php?pid=1149# |
