ステンツホルンにとって、クラフツマンシップは単なる鍛錬ではなく、決定的な特徴です。ステンツォルンの作品は、正確さと直感の両方が要求される技術によって形作られています。その中でも、インビジブル・セッティングの技術とチャンネル・セッティングの精度は、私たち独自のサヴォアフェールを表現するものであり、宝石に命を吹き込み、明瞭さ、継続性、静かな力強さをもたらしています。
Invisible setting is a technique where gemstones are set side-by-side without visible metal prongs or bezels, creating a seamless surface of stones. Each gemstone is grooved carefully along its pavilion edges. The grooves fit into a fine metal rail structure beneath the surface. This hidden framework holds the stones securely.
Stones must be precisely calibrated to both equal colour and dimensions, so they sit perfectly flush and level with one another and resemble one seamless coloured surface, with no metal visible.
Channel setting with baguettes requires extreme precision, giving a modern, architectural aesthetic.
The technique provides excellent protection for stone edges since no prongs are exposed. Baguette-cut stones must be precisely matched in length, width, and height for even spacing and level alignment, and carefully placed side by side within the channel. The metal walls themselves hold the stones in place.
