What are the different types of diamond settings commonly available in
the UK market?

Well.

If you get hold of the Cookson's Precious Metals catalogue, which is
sort of the industry standard, it has some 838 stone settings and 459
different rings to fit them to.

Obviously some settings won't go onto some rings.

And some of them are pretty big so you'd need a largish diamond to go
into them...

Cookson's charge £10 for their 'long form' catalogue.

Does this website http://www.cooksongold.com belong to the Cookson you
are talking about?


Yes.

But it's a reasonably poor site to try and select a stone setting or a
ring from as it's reasonably hard to navigate using design as the search
parameter.

So I looked at the script
It was six weeks filming in the desert.
No girls, no dialogue, just guys with guns.
They said "Do you want wages or a percentage?"
It looked like a certain turkey.
When they came the second time I was ready.
I haven't had to work since...
