Excellence in watch and jewellery gem-setting
Gem-setting is one of the most delicate operations in the watchmaking and jewellery production chain. A poorly set stone means a risk of loss, a compromised finish, a non-conformity that comes back as an after-sales claim. Termin'Hor SA offers a gem-setting service carried out by a leading specialist based directly within our premises in Vernier, Geneva, ensuring friction-free collaboration with our finishing workshop. Our finishing workshop.
Gem-setting techniques we master
- Mechanical setting : industrial precision for repeat production runs
- Grain (bead) setting : traditional technique for pavé and surrounds
- Bezel setting : the stone fully framed by metal
- Fine-jewellery setting : freehand work for exceptional pieces
- Baguette setting : precise alignment of rectangular step-cut stones
- Invisible setting : a prestige technique with no metal visible between the stones
Each technique is selected according to the design, the type of stone, the base material and the production constraints. Our teams can advise you from the design phase onwards, to anticipate setting constraints and avoid costly rework.
The advantage of an integrated service
Entrusting your gem-setting to Termin'Hor SA brings a major logistical advantage: even if we did not machine your components, our finishing workshop handles the post-setting finishing. You don't have to coordinate two separate suppliers, manage the transfer of pieces between workshops, or arbitrate responsibilities should a problem arise.
Your pieces come in ready to be set; they leave set, finished and flawless, ready for final quality control or display. Our process includes a systematic post-setting inspection: stone retention, grain regularity, baguette alignment, and inspection under loupe before transfer to finishing.
