In a Gypsy setting, which is also called a flush or hammer setting, the gemstone is set so that it sits flush with the metal band’s surface. It is similar to the bezel setting in that the gemstone’s crown is its only exposed area. However, in contrast to the bezel setting where the stone is set in place with metal going around its rim, the gypsy setting embeds the stone within the metal itself. Gypsy settings are often used for accent stones, especially on wedding rings.
Ring with gemstones of different shapes in Gypsy settings.
