CONT

The bezel setting creates a metal frame that surrounds the stone. Not only is this a nice way to make your stone look larger, but it can also conceal nicks and chips around the girdle.

CONT

Le serti clos (ou rabattu). Il s'effectue en rabattant sur la pierre enchâssée dans la «douille» le métal qui l'entoure au niveau du feuilletis [ou du rondiste (pour le diamant)].

CONT

Le serti clos ou «en tube». Une bande de métal, qui entoure le diamant et le maintient en place, est soudée à la monture. Par le passé, on utilisait surtout le serti clos avec les cabochons [...] De nos jours, on l'utilise de plus en plus pour sertir les diamants. La bande de métal peut entourer partiellement ou totalement le diamant.
