Stone setting can determine both how beautiful a piece of jewelry looks and how well it performs over time.
deBebians provides wholesale diamond and gemstone setting services for jewelry retailers, designers, brands and qualified trade professionals.
We can assist with center stones, accent diamonds, gemstones and complete custom jewelry projects.
The setter is one of the last craftspeople to work on a piece, but decisions affecting the setting begin much earlier.
The dimensions of the mounting, prong placement, stone measurements, metal thickness, access for the setter and support underneath the stones can all affect the finished result.
That is why our design, CAD and manufacturing teams consider setting requirements before the piece reaches the setter whenever we are involved with the complete project.
Depending on the jewelry and stones involved, projects may include:
• Center stone setting
• Prong setting
• Claw prongs
• Bezel setting
• Pavé setting
• Micro pavé
• Channel setting
• Shared prong setting
• Accent diamond setting
• Colored gemstone setting
• Eternity band setting
• Engagement ring setting
• Wedding band setting
• Pendant and earring setting
Every project is evaluated according to the design, stones and manufacturing requirements involved.
We regularly work with natural and lab grown diamonds as well as a variety of precious and colored gemstones.
When deBebians is involved in the complete manufacturing project, we can also assist with sourcing center stones, melee diamonds, matching stones and calibrated gemstones according to the requirements of the design.
A high quality finished setting depends heavily on the preparation that comes before the stones are installed.
Seats must be prepared properly. Stone spacing should be consistent. Prongs must provide appropriate security without unnecessarily covering the stones.
With pavé work, the layout and preparation of the metal can have a major effect on the final appearance.
Our goal is not simply to get the stones into the mounting. We want the setting to complement the jewelry while providing the security appropriate for the design.
Our setting services can support a single custom customer project or become part of a larger wholesale manufacturing relationship.
Retail jewelers may come to us with an engagement ring that needs a center stone set.
Designers and brands may need a complete piece manufactured and set.
Other clients may require ongoing setting support as their businesses grow.
We evaluate each project individually so that the proper setting method, materials and production process can be determined.
If your project requires more than setting, deBebians can also assist with jewelry CAD, manufacturing, diamond and gemstone sourcing, micro pavé, engraving, polishing and final quality control.
Keeping multiple stages of a project within one manufacturing relationship can also make it easier to identify and resolve potential issues before the jewelry is completed.
