Consecutive

A consecutive gemstone setting is a jewelry design in which gemstones are placed next to each other in a row or band. This setting is often used for bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings and it's most popular for engagement rings and wedding rings. Sometimes the gems are placed so that their edges touch, creating a continuous pattern. This ensures a very sleek, elegant and polished appearance of the jewel. There are various techniques to make a contiguous gemstone setting, such as channel setting, pavé setting or bead setting. Pavé setting is the most common technique, in which small gemstones are placed closely together and secured with small claws or pins. Channel setting and bead setting are often used for larger gemstones and give a similar look, but with a slightly different construction. A contiguous gemstone setting can contain different types of gemstones, such as sapphires, rubies, emeralds, topazes, diamonds, and more. The design can range from simple and classic to intricate and detailed.

pavé in line

A consecutive pavé setting is a popular technique in jewelry making where small diamonds or other gemstones are set closely together in a row, creating a continuous surface of sparkle. Here are some advantages of a consecutive pavé setting on a jewel: Enhanced brilliance: The close proximity of the diamonds or gemstones in a consecutive pavé setting allows for more light to reflect and refract, resulting in a dazzling display of sparkle and brilliance. Increased durability: The closely set stones in a pavé setting provide added support and protection for the center stone or main focal point of the jewelry piece, making it more durable and less prone to damage. Versatility: A consecutive pavé setting can be used on a variety of jewelry pieces, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, making it a versatile and popular choice in jewelry design. Aesthetic appeal: A consecutive pavé setting can add a sense of luxury and sophistication to a jewelry piece, while also creating a subtle, understated effect that enhances the beauty of the overall design. Customizable: A consecutive pavé setting can be customized to fit a wide range of styles and preferences, with options for different sizes, shapes, and colors of diamonds or gemstones, as well as variations in the number and spacing of stones in the setting.

Round Brilliant

The modern brilliant cut diamond is without a shadow of a doubt the most popular shape available. It consists of 58 facets and the shape is optimized to reflected the light entering the stone through the top (table). The cut surfaced in the mid 17th century and counted only 17 facets in the crown. Later, a Venetian cutter called Vincent Peruzzi, improved the shape to 33 facets in the crown.

In the Antwerp Jewish quarter

Antwerp is known for its diamonds industry and its Orthodox Jews. A few decades ago approximately eighty percent of Antwerp’s Jewish population used to make a living from the diamond industry. Apart from the gatherings in the diamond district and at the synagogue, Jews from Antwerp have lived mostly in different entities. The most recognizable community is that of the Haredi. After New York, London and Jerusalem, Antwerp is home to one of the largest ultra-Orthodox communities in the world.
