Fashion Jewelry Settings And Styles

Fashion Jewelry comes in different settings to complement many styles. Each setting style serves as a mantle for the stone. The setting is very important to the look and functionality. For instance, large solitaire stones are typically set in a prong setting to show them off as opposed to a channel setting which can showcase many smaller stones for more practical use. Setting combinations make for interesting designs as well.

Setting Types

Prong:A single stone set between four metal prongs. This setting is ideal for showcasing a solitaire stone.

Bezel: A stone is encased by a metal ring. This sets the stone low and serves as a protective case.

Channel: A number of small gem stones are set in a small channel. This is popular with engagement rings.

Pave': Clusters of small stone are set very close to each other on the surface of the ring.

Chevron: Stones are set in V-shaped prongs. Marquise cut stone are typically set in this type.

Clasp Types

Lobster Claw: Looks like its name. This clasp is spring loaded and hooks to the other end of a bracelet or necklace to secure the piece.    

Toggle Clasp: A bar that secures piece when inserted through a circular or tube design.    

Spring Ring: Spring loaded with circular design. Similar to the lobster clasp.    

Box Clasp: Secure the piece by locking when the wedge piece is inserted into the box piece. The clasp unlocks when the wedge piece is pushed down. This piece is spring loaded.

Chain Types

Twisted Chain: Spiraling chain with interlocking circle made in silver, gold, or rhodium.

Cable Link: Round links interconnected. This is the most common link. Most pendants come with this chain.

Mesh Link: Intertwined wires of metal to give a weaved look.

Bead Chain: Two chains woven together to resemble a rope.

Snake Chain: Cylindrical chain. Solid, smooth look but very flexible.

Herringbone Chain: Short and flat links set parallel to each other and pieced together tightly.

Juicy Couture clasps?

Are Juicy Couture clasps low quality? I bought a bracelet for my girlfriend from there and it had a sort of lobster clasp or something. Not the one that you put inside the little ring for it to stay on and then it kept getting loose and soon broke. I got her a new bracelet that has a better clasp that you put inside the ring and its fine. I also bought her a cat charm for her bracelet. It's head is suppose to open for a little object. We didn't know that until the clasp got loose and it opened by itself after like 2 hours of wearing it. Then it kept getting looser and looser. Are Juicy Couture clasps really that low quality? Or am I just getting bad luck on the things I'm getting her?
The clasp that goes in the ring is called a Toggle Clasp

i love juicy Couture stuff because it is so cute but it is all made out of low quality materials and it all falls apart or fades or breaks it is not just you it has happened to me and a few of my friends but if you buy it at nordstrom you can just return it when it breaks
