The origins of micro setting

• A fairly new technique used for setting
  gemstones, micro setting was introduced to the
  world about a decade ago and has since then
  become the preferred setting style for the
  creation of fine jewelry which involves the use
  of small semi precious and precious stones. Apart
  from allowing the impressive use of very tiny
  stones this technique is the only style that can
  be used for setting gemstones very close
  together.
• The crafting of the piece has to be carried out
  under magnification since the distance between
  the stones is a mere half a point. The results
  are dramatic to say the least. Instead of
  discernible metallic spaces between the stones,
  micro setting creates the impression of a sea of
  sparking stones. Particularly, when combined with
  metals such as silver, the effect can be stunning
  as a layer of gemstones seems to be encrusted on
  the metal.

• The precision setting of small stones finds its
  origins in an old technique called pavé,
  pronounced as pah vay. The name is derived from
  the fact that the stones are set like cobble
  stones paved on a street. In fact, the term is
  quite descriptive because stones are literally
  paved on an area of the jewelry.
• The final result is a shimmering surface full of
  stones with as little metal as possible showing.
  This style has been around for centuries and was
  considered low tech since holes would be drilled
  into the metal body of the jewelry. Another tool
  would then be used to form tiny beads which would
  be used to cover the edge of the stones and hold
  them in place. Micro setting, although derived
  from this style, is a far more technologically
  advanced approach as tiny prongs are used to set
  the stones.

How is micro setting different from or similar to
other stone setting styles?

• Unlike bezel setting which is considered to be
  one of the oldest styles of using gemstones in
  jewelry making, there is no metal strip used for
  micro settings. In fact, as far as technique
  goes, micro setting is similar to bead setting,
  with the principle difference being the size of
  the prongs which are a mere fraction of the
  dimension of the stone.
• It should be noted here that typically small
  stones of the same size are used in micro
  setting this means that the prongs created to
  hold the gems in place are microscopic and
  require very little space. Unlike prong setting
  which calls for the use of larger stones, even
  the tiniest gems can be micro set. Because the
  stones are affixed so close together, the impact
  is as spectacular and sometimes even more so than
  that of one large stone.
• Although most purists would only consider
  entirely hand crafted jewelry as micro set, it is
  not unusual these days to use technological
  advances such as CAD/CAM designing and superior
  machinery and tools for micro setting.

Why should you choose silver jewelry with stone
micro setting?

• For one, the result of the meticulous micro
  setting process is simply outstanding, giving
  jewelry a timelessly elegant yet stunning appeal.
  Also, it should be noted that pavé settings were
  not particularly known for their durability.
• Owing to the fact that small beads were used to
  hold the stones in place, which were very small
  to begin with, the loss of stone and damage due
  to direct hit were common issues. These pieces
  were also very hard to clean and maintain as
  there would always be the risk of stone dislodge.
• In contrast, micro setting sorts many of these
  issues the precision technique makes use of
  prongs and beads that are sized perfectly
  depending on the shape and the dimensions of the
  stone. This leads to enhanced durability and
  stronger, firmer setting that can be relied on.
  Also, the skills of the setter will make a huge
  difference to the durability of the piece.
• Finally, the use of silver which is stronger than
  gold is an added benefit as it provides strength
  to the setting not to mention that the white
  metal enhances the natural glittering effect of
  white stones such as CZ.
