This silver ring with a ship-form setting is designed to hold round faceted gemstones of approximately 6 mm diameter in a secure and visually striking way. The characteristic elongated, boat-like form gently cradles the stone, enhancing its brilliance while creating a refined, contemporary silhouette.
Made from fine silver, the ship-form setting offers excellent workability and control during stone setting, making it especially well suited for teaching environments and hands-on workshops. It is a proven favorite in 4-hour jewellery crash courses, as the form naturally guides pressure evenly over the stone, supporting clean and reliable setting results for both beginners and experienced goldsmiths.
The setting is compatible with a wide range of gemstones, including peridot, citrine, smoky quartz, amethyst, rock crystal, garnet, and diamonds. Thanks to its versatility, the ship-form setting can be used for rings or pendants, adapting easily to custom designs, small collections, or educational projects.
Combining practical functionality with timeless design, the ship-form setting remains a trusted choice in contemporary silver jewellery and professional goldsmithing practice.
