Disclosed is an improved jewel setting method comprising the steps of: making a hole (3) in an object (1) which is capable of returning to its original shape and size after being deformed; forming overhangs (8) around the top circumference of the hole (3); and press-fitting a jewel into the hole (3) by causing the overhangs (8) to be yieldingly withdrawn, allowing the girdle of the jewel to pass through the space (7) delimited by the surrounding overhangs (8), and then, allowing the overhangs (8) to return to their original positions, thereby catching the bezel of the jewel. Thus, neither hammering nor pressing is required in mounting jewels in objects. Examples of such materials are plastic, ivory, horn, wood and metal. <IMAGE> |
