Hi Guys,
Their goldsmith did a fantastic job of burnish-setting the diamond so that its table sits 1 mm over the pillow of metal, and its tip just 2 mm over her finger. To me it looks more elegant than a bezel, and it seems to make the diamond appear a bit bigger than it would in a prong setting. The stone is .83 carat, G color, VS2 clarity, with an ''Ideal'' cut and VG polish and symmetry.

When a stone is set in a burnished or gypsy (faux gypsy, to be technically correct), a seat is carved in the metal, holding the stone in place quite precisly. Then, metal is pushed over the girdle with a burnisher, holding it in place. WHne well executed, it is very safe and looks very sleek. There is, however, some size limitations.Date: 5/29/2010 1:18:52 PM

what kind of setting style is this? if this is not a bezel, is the diamond held in place by getting the griddle to sit in the notch
