Le serti invisible. Cette méthode consiste à paver des motifs de joaillerie de pierres de couleur [ou de diamants], sans laisser apparaître la moindre griffe. [...] On distingue ici deux grandes techniques : a) Le Lapido-Serti [...] b) Le Serti «Mystérieux» : on taille des encoches dans toutes les pierres et on les fait coulisser entre deux rails «métalliques» très fins. 1, record 1, French, - serti%20myst%C3%A9rieux

Instead of each stone being held by its individual set of prongs, a continuous strip of metal with a channel into which are fitted the outer edges of the row of stones runs down each side of the row, which is thus gripped between the two walls. 2, record 2, English, - channel%20setting

Dans l'aspect extérieur du serti invisible le métal n’ apparaît pas. Pour réussir un serti invisible il y a 2 méthodes : a) le lapido-serti : une encoche est taillée dans chaque pierre afin qu'elle s’imbrique dans la précédente et ainsi de suite; b) le serti mystérieux : on taille deux encoches dans chaque pierre et elles glissent sur deux rails très fins. 7, record 2, French, - serti%20invisible

Le serti invisible. Cette méthode consiste à paver des motifs de joaillerie de pierres de couleur [ou de diamants], sans laisser apparaître la moindre griffe. [...] On distingue ici deux grandes techniques : a) Le Lapido-Serti : on taille une encoche dans la pierre, juste en dessous du feuilletis [ou du rondiste dans le cas du diamant] et on y emboîte l'arête de la pierre qui la jouxte. On reproduit sur cette dernière la même opération pour en emboîter une autre et ainsi de suite. [...] b) Le Serti «Mystérieux» [...] 1, record 3, French, - lapido%2Dserti
