Pavé Setting

Brilliant cut stones between 0.5mm and 2.5mm held by small hand raised grains of metal, highlighting the brilliance with a mirror finish created by a hand engraved bright cut

Bezel Setting

A thin metal band encircles the stone, holding it securely while allowing generous light and a clean, modern profile.

Prong Setting

Metal claws grip the stone at its girdle, elevating it to capture and reflect the most light.

Flush, Floating & Unique Setting

Stones may sit level with the metal, appear to hover with minimal visible support, or follow bespoke geometries — each approach tailored to the design.

Certified Stone Setter

I am a professional stone setter trained at the Gerardi School of Stone Setting in Rome, Italy's number one stone-setting academy. I am also a goldsmith and artist bringing years of bench experience to every piece. My work combines traditional hand skills with modern precision: GraverMax-powered engraving to achieve smooth bright cuts in the most complex places, meticulous hand beading and grain settings, and engraving executed at microscopic scale so each seat, wall, and reflection reads cleanly even under magnification. Whether you need a custom piece requiring pavé, bezels, or bespoke geometries, the goal is always the same: stones that sit securely, align perfectly, and enhance the design to its best.
