to clarify. "Millegrain" is a metalworking treatment that borders each of the stones with an impressed detail that resembles beads, it is not a method of setting stones, jewellers use tiny wheels similar to 'pastry cutters' which are rolled around the setting to create the bead shapes, whihc catch the light and give an optical effect of making the stones look larger, it isn't as is described: "a setting with series of continuous very small diamonds (or other stones) on the surface" that would be pave... Hope that helps --Previous Message-- : Interesting that the Cartier apparently is a : small one. On pictures it looks quite big. : According the website of Cartier it is only : 5,5 cm high, which seems much smaller to me : than the optical illusion. : : : TIARE D´APPARAT : Cartier Paris 1910 : : Platine : Un diamant taille coussin, : diamants ronds taille ancienne : Serti millegrain : Vendue à Elisabeth, reine des Belges : (1876-1965) : Elle a épousé le Prince Albert Ier, qui : deviendra roi en 1909 et mourut en 1934. : Hauteur au centre : 5,5 cm : : Translation: : : CEREMONIAL TIARA : Cartier Paris 1910 : : Platinum : A cushion cut diamond : Round old-cut diamonds : Millegrain* in the curls : Sold to Elizabeth, Queen of the Belgians : (1876-1965) : She married Prince Albert I, who became King : in 1909 and died in 1934. : Center height: 5.5 cm : : *Millegrain = "a thousand grains" : A setting with series of continuous very : small diamonds (or other stones) on the : surface : : Source picture: www.worntrough.com/blog : : : :
