Victoria, Australia -- How would you set the Princess Cut Diamonds within a prong of V shape?

Becoming informed about the ways of setting professionally the princess cut diamond using this method will be demonstrating just another facet of the shop quality which you own.

The article has covered the various processes to set this diamond variety within prongs that gets issued during the year 2002 by the 'Professional Jewellers'. The aspects have been discussed below:

An overall inspection, analysis of the job and lastly its preparation:

Barry Pizzolato from Los Angeles made the initial inspection of the breakage and the other types of potential challenges that may come up with diamonds like a wavy or thin girdle or some uneven proportions of diamond. When he started placing the diamond over the setting of princess cut ring, he ensured that the prongs get complete visibility. He also made a note that each of the corners of the diamond is getting lined up with its center of the prong. And if the prong comes in rectangular shape, then he would be making the necessary adjustments accordingly.

Making a preparation of the bearing's relief portion:

For the determination of the exact position for cutting to the bearing, Pizzolato made use of dividers and made a marking to each of the prongs at the position where he wants the girdle to stand fine. Each of the prongs gets an equal marking of measurement just from its top position from a measurement of approximately 1 - 1.5mm.

What is the process of making the bearing?

For setting the princess cut diamond engagement rings , Pizzolato made use of the bur which comes with small ball for making a hollow to the beneath of pilot hole. Necessarily the hollow angle is required to make a smart match with that of the pavilion angle. Next he made use of the #5 ball bur for the purpose of general hollowing to the upper part of the pilot hole. After that he made a preparation of all the prongs continuously fitting the princess cut diamond and at its end ensured that all its points are getting an easy fit within all the grooves that he made cut preliminarily. Such process makes it sure that the metal gets the minimum bur. Once he is completed with these and is absolutely satisfied he made certain that all the flashed gets removed from each part of the prong. In his next step he prefinishes his princess cut diamond rings with polishing it thoroughly and placed it over the bearing.

Setting and seating of the stone

He made it sure before just making the prongs bend:
Within the prong the diamond's pavilion angle needs to get a good match with the cutting angle of the gemstone
The pilot hole cut needs to be a little deeper particularly to its central part for accommodating the corners of the diamond
Slightly beneath or at the girdle no visible space remains
Within the bearing when the gemstone gets set it needs to be at level
