Ridges in the metal create a channel that holds gemstones in place.
The art of setting gemstones in a channel, which is two walls of metal between which a gem is set so it appears suspended in a groove. Channel setting is generally used for small stones of similar size, but graduated gemstones can also be channel set in this manner.
A Setting that has a row of stones set between two strips of metal to hold the stones at the sides. Used for round, baguette and square-cut stones, the channel setting resembles a railway track with the diamonds in the centre.
a ring style where the stones are set into the band itself, usually in a continuous line
Popular for mounting rows of small, uniformly-sized stones, this setting technique uses two strips of metal to hold the stones at the sides. Used for round, baguette and square-cut stones, the channel setting resembles two railroad tracks with the diamonds in the center.
Most commonly found in wedding and anniversary bands, a channel setting sets the stones immediately next to each other.
A setting technique whereby gemstones are held side-by-side by their girdles between two long tracks of precious metal.
Ridges in the setting metal that create a channel, holding the gemstones in place.
a style of stone setting in which stones of the same size are held in place by a continuous strip of metal along the stones on both sides.
A type of ring setting in which stones of a uniform size are set side-by-side in a "canal" type setting to form a continuous band. A channel setting protects the stones by recessing them in the mounting.
Type of setting often used in mounting a number of smaller stones of uniform size in a row. Stones are not held by individual prongs but rather continuous strips of metal forming a channel into which are fitted the outer edges of the row of stones.
A setting style or method where there is no metal showing between stones. In our opinion, better avoided unless very well executed.
Metal rails that hold the diamond in a setting.
As the name suggests, one or several gemstones are set into a two-sided channel of metal. Baguette and tapered baguette gems are often channel set.
Used most frequently for wedding and anniversary bands, a channel setting will set the stones right next to each other with no metal separating them.
a groove or trough inside two parallel strips of metal to hold a stone (often a row of stones) in place
the pattern in which jewels are set where the they are held in only by a slight rim of metal (gold, platinum, etc.) which runs along the edges of the channel. Channel set jewels are usually round or baguette shaped.
Grooved metal built into a jewelry setting for holding stones. Also a number of uniformly sized small stones set in a row.
A row of stones, square or baguette, set into a continuous channel or groove.
two strips of metal (gold, platinum or silver) hold the gemstone(s) in place at the sides, with no metal between the stones. This type of setting protects the girdle area of the gemstone, as well as securing small stones more effectively than a prong setting. Channel-set gemstones also sit flush with the mounting, making them less likely to get snagged on other objects, such as hair or clothing.
Stones set between two ridges of metal with their edges almost touching, usually in a straight line. The sides of the mounting are hammered over to grip the outer edges (girdles) of the stone.
This type of setting holds a number of gemstones side by side in a grooved channel. Each stone is not secured individually and there is no metal visible between stones.
Two strips of metal hold the gemstone in place by creating a channel for the stone. Unlike the bar setting, channel set stones have no metal between the stones. This is a great setting for active people as the stones are protected from snags and bumps.
A setting where stones are inlaid into grooves in the metal. Usually a number of uniformly sized small stones are set in a row
