I''ve noticed that on many rings, if the shank includes pave'' or channel set stones, there are tiny holes on the underside...under each stone.
What would be the reason for this? It doesn''t make sense to me that it would be to allow light to enter the stone from underneath, since once it''s on the finger any light from below would be blocked.
Is it merely to save on the gold or platinum... to make the setting a bit lighter in weight?
I think it looks very nice, but is it necessary?
Thanks...Just curious!
