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?


No that is a cooking website, dealing with recipes based on gold.


Stop being horrible to the poor chap.

He's obviously out of his depth.

Admittedly the depth he's out of is at the shallow end, but that's not
really the point.

If he's from, say, India (which his name implies) and he has a retail
background there then he'll only have experience of the very
stereotypical jewellery you can buy there...

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...
