Piaget's Craftsmanship - Gem-setting | Piaget 2012

Performed in close collaboration with our designers, gem-setting is practised 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 gemstone 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 brilliant, baguette, princess and pear different diamond cuts / differently cut diamonds are combined.
