Platinum and millegrain

Most Art Deco rings are platinum, strong enough to hold stones with very little metal, and are finished with millegrain, a row of tiny beads along the edge of each setting.

Calibre cut stones

Calibre cut stones are cut to fit a shape exactly, such as the sapphire shoulders on a ring, and sit side by side without visible metal between them.
