PROCESS OF SETTING STONE IN JEWELLERY BY USING COMPUTER AIDED NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED SYSTEM

摘要

A process of setting stone in jewellery by using computer aided numerically controlled (CNC) system. Precious metal is cut and bent around stone using CNC machine. The process exploits capability of CNC machine by achieving gradual and consistent bending which results in minimum residual stress in precious metal and eliminates possibility of damage to stone.
