Claw set is suitable for Mosaic particles of larger facet main stone, this setting method hollow bottom, obvious light transmission, small amount of gold, easy processing, the size of the gem requirements are not very strict, but because of the larger welding position, so the design is best to add a foil to cover its welding position. The claw set includes two claws, three claws, four claws or six claws, which is convenient to set, but less firm than the bag set.
It is suitable for convex stone or shaped stone that is difficult to grasp, including full package and half package, but the package requires the stone shape to be very consistent with the insert, and it is difficult to modify.
