Pavé settings are made up of lots of small gemstones, often diamonds, set closely together. The gems are separated and held in place by little beads of the setting metal. The result is what looks like a continuous surface of diamonds or other gems. 4, record 1, English, - bead%20setting

Serti à grains : les pierres sont maintenues par des grains soulevés à l'aide d'une échoppe. L'outil entre dans le métal pour y pousser un «copeau» d'or qui bloque la pierre. Ce «copeau» est ensuite «boulé» avec un perloir de bonne taille afin de lui donner la forme arrondie. De la symétrie des grains dépend la beauté de l'ouvrage. 8, record 1, French, - serti%20%C3%A0%20grains
