Piaget's Craftsmanship - Gem - Setting - A dazzling display of precious stones
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Performed in close collaboration with our designers,
gem-setting is practiced as an art.
Once the number of gemstones and their positioning have been determined,
our craftsmen sculpt the metal to gradually reveal
the setting in which a gemstone will be placed.
Then they select the gemstones that will be adjusted with precision
to fit within the created setting.
This step is repeated with each gemstone.
Based on a piece’s design,
our gem-setters opt for bead, claw, bezel, invisible, inset and channel settings
in which different diamond cuts are combined.
The precision and finesse of gem-setting and the refinement of polishing
create pieces with unique character and perfect finishes.
Once the gem-setter's painstaking work has been completed,
each gemstone is individually checked.
At Piaget, precious gemstones are selected to beautifully adorn our jewelry pieces.
Over two million gems are set each year in our workshops.
