HollyS Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,098 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 7/18/2007	Princess cuts were created in the 1960's. What's even funnier about this scene is that the ring in question is a Tacori! A princess center with sapphire side stones. They advertise it in their catalog as the "Monica". _____________________________ "I cannot live without books." - Thomas Jefferson

ETA: This may be too easy -- How is invisible setting achieved in bracelets and necklaces? The invisible setting technique was developed in France more than two centuries ago. Grooves in each stone's girdle slip into a metal framework below the surface, but the metal cannot be seen, so stones sit side-by-side, creating a solid surface of gems...so you know i borrowed this explanation from about.com for ease of explination....but it leads to my next quiz question...what famous jewelry company is famous for using the invisible look in their floral jewelry.....
