Reveal it: A New Way to Set Gems

Setting Gems Without Boundaries

Gems show the refraction of light after all the cutting and polishing. I have been thinking about how to show this beauty perfectly without any boundary, to set it free and reveal it while still having the gem set stably.

Ting G, a renowned designer in the world of jewelry, has introduced a groundbreaking concept in gemstone setting. With their design, aptly named "Reveal it," Ting G has found a way to showcase gems without the usual prongs or boundaries that often obstruct their brilliance. This innovative approach allows the gems to shine to their full potential, captivating the beholder with their mesmerizing refractions.

The key to the "Reveal it" design lies in the creation of a groove or cavity in the bottom of the gemstone. This cavity is meticulously crafted to fit perfectly against the ring setting, ensuring a secure and stable placement. Once the gem is prepared, it is simply clipped into the setting, eliminating the need for traditional prongs or clasps.

By removing the physical barriers that typically surround gemstones, Ting G's design allows the gems to appear as if they are floating effortlessly on the wearer's finger. This unique setting technique not only enhances the visual impact of the gemstones but also provides a sense of freedom and lightness.

The "Reveal it" design is crafted using 18k white gold, a precious metal known for its durability and elegance. The gems used in this design range from Topaz and Tourmaline to Citrine, each carefully selected to complement the overall aesthetic and showcase their individual beauty.

Ting G faced several challenges in bringing this concept to life. The primary hurdle was creating the cavity in the bottom of the gemstone while ensuring its structural integrity. Additionally, the designer had to devise a way to securely fix the ring setting to the gem, guaranteeing a snug fit without compromising the gem's stability.

The "Reveal it" design has garnered significant recognition in the industry, including the prestigious A' Design Award in 2013. This accolade is a testament to the design's innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements. The "Reveal it" design stands out for its ability to integrate industry best practices and technical excellence, providing a fulfilling and captivating experience for the wearer.

Ting G's "Reveal it" design is a testament to the designer's commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional jewelry design. By embracing a new way to set gems, Ting G has created a collection that showcases the inherent beauty of gemstones while offering a fresh and contemporary aesthetic. With "Reveal it," the gems are set free, allowing their brilliance to captivate and enchant all who behold them.
