Process for producing an item of jewellery

摘要

A process for producing an item of jewellery, in which a set stone (1) is fitted into a previously produced recess (9) in a cast metal body (5), wherein a part of the setting (2) is deformed and the stress produced by deformation holds the setting (2) together with the stone (1) fast; the recess (9) of the metal body (5) acquires in the casting operation its shape which causes deformation of the setting (2).
