2. Diamond Setters

Diamond setters are those skilled persons having the skill of shaping and remodeling diamonds into various shapes and for different uses. The setter may attach loose diamonds to new jewelry such as earrings, charms, bracelets, cuff links, watches and rings. Setters sometimes obtain vintage diamonds from old pieces of jewelry and reorganize them into new mounts reflecting the personal tastes of clients. The setters should be extremely careful and skilled because loose diamonds are damaged easily and for one to come up with a unique piece of art, skill is eminent. Some setters expertly place loose diamonds on mounts that hold the pieces of diamond with bars, arms or any other joiners. Setters require extensive training so that they become more knowledgeable on different diamond setting techniques causing damage.

3. Custom Diamond Setting

There are a number of artisans skilled in custom design of diamonds. This sets them apart from other types of jewelers because the custom setters have the ability of creating and designing custom pieces that are one of a kind. Customers can bring photographs of different styles or pieces that they want the setter to prepare for them. Alternatively, customers can book appointments with designers in diamond setting companies to enable them bring their design into reality.

After rendering, diamond setters’ hand-carve wax models, creating 3-dimensional models of the drawings. Afterwards, they make rubber casts prepared using the wax models that are later filled using precious metals to construct the final piece of work. The setters then fit the final product with handpicked gems to secure the settings. This results in a magnificent piece of art made using fine material. The setters prepare rings, earrings, watches, bracelets and many other accessories.

4. Diamond Injuries and Repair

Diamond setters are also involved in re-cutting and repairing damaged diamonds. It is a rare occurrence to find diamond being repaired, but it happens to damaged diamonds or diamonds that were initially not given a perfect cutting. Jewelers require knowledge on re-cutting and repairing diamonds so that they do not damage the diamond. A common diamond injury is girl or edge chipping, though diamonds are hard and rarely suffer mechanical injury. Careless use of files might lift minute flakes from the diamond’s upper surface making the thin layer of diamond to split off. Splitting causes perfect cleavages on the diamond causing it to split easily in various directions. Rough cleavages reflect in each part of the diamond causing serious injury, which ruin the stone.

Whenever vintage diamonds or any other type of diamond is injured, send it to a competent and professional diamond setter capable of leaving the diamond in a perfect stable condition. The cutter should also be able to reconstruct the damaged piece into ideal proportions using the best judgment, in order to meet the client’s specifications. Jewelers always give low offers when clients purchase repaired diamonds since they do not yield the expected quality. Diamond injury sometimes occurs in the hands of careless setters therefore; make certain to get a professional setter to repair damaged stone.

Diamonds are regarded as angry stones because, whenever they rub against each other, they cause injury to each other thus, wearing down their sharp edges. Therefore, loose diamond should always be kept safely and apart from each other. Diamonds that have worn out can be repolished though if done frequently, it can cut down the diamond’s weight. Another common diamond injury is excess heating and exposure to fire. When diamond is exposed to high temperatures, it combines with oxygen and causes blemishes. This damage can be substantial such that no amounts of repair can fix it properly, maintain its original weight, and look.
