The Dutch Sapphire Tiara has the (top) large diamonds set on small springs, at least that's what we have read over the years. --Previous Message-- : From a purely technical point of view I think : we've misinterpreted something along the way : here. "En tremblant" settings are : not just pendants that move with the nod and : bow of a head etc, but are specifically : designed settings that afix the mounting of : the stone or an element of the jewel in it's : entirity to the main body of the jewel by a : means that causes the setting to wobble and : bounce in place, a spring or tensioned wire, : not just a loop and bail arrangment. All the : pictures I've seen so far in this thread are : simply suspended drops... this is not : "En tremblant" : : I've attempted to post a link to a picture : that clearly shows from the rear an en : tremblant setting, on the right hand side : element, there's a coiled spring that causes : the whole element to scintillate. That is : what's understood as an en tremblant : setting. : : Picture link taken from "Caroline's : Jewelry with a Past", no infringement : of copyright intended. : : : : :
