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
