A customer asked me why the natural emerald she sent to the factory was refused to be set, and she was frustrated. Why would the factory refuse to set the emerald? In fact, it is because the setting of natural emeralds is very risky. Natural emeralds are of high value, and the factory masters cannot afford the loss and compensation of natural emeralds during the setting process.
The setting of emeralds is indeed an important link that needs careful consideration. Due to its unique beauty and multi-crack characteristics, emeralds are indeed more fragile than other gems during the setting process, which makes it particularly important to choose high-quality setting services.
In fact, the place where you can buy the main stone will do the setting, and provide follow-up services after purchasing the main stone, so that you can be safe and worry-free.They usually have a professional setting team, understand your gem situation, and provide more detailed services.
If the original jeweler cannot provide setting services, or you have lost contact with him, then it is necessary to find a professional setting factory.
When choosing, be sure to carefully examine the factory’s qualifications, technical level and reputation. Make sure they have experience in handling multi-crack gemstones such as emeralds, and can provide full communication before and after inlaying and a promise of compensation for damaged inlays.
In fact, affordable cultured emeralds can be a good alternative. Only when the growth of inclusions is slightly different under the professional microscope of the testing agency, the texture looks exactly the same to the eye.
Cultivated emeralds do not conflict with natural emeralds. Natural emeralds pursue scarcity, inheritance and value-added. Cultivated emeralds pursue daily wear and fashion. There is no problem with daily wear, and it looks no different from the real thing. You can choose according to your own situation.
