Floating Prism Settings
The Floating Prism Setting is a minimalist structural design created to secure a natural crystal while preserving its original form and visual openness. Unlike traditional bezel or claw settings that enclose or mask the stone, this setting is engineered to hold the crystal at its natural contact points, allowing light to pass freely around and through the material.
The prism architecture elevates the gemstone slightly away from the metal frame, creating the visual effect of the crystal floating within the setting. This design minimizes metal coverage, ensuring that natural crystal faces, terminations, and surface features remain fully visible from multiple angles.
From a functional perspective, the setting distributes pressure evenly along structurally stable areas of the crystal, reducing stress on natural edges while maintaining long-term security. The open geometry also enhances light interaction, emphasizing the stone’s natural color zoning, pleochroism, and internal structure.
Each Floating Prism Setting is individually adapted to the unique proportions of the crystal. No two settings are identical, as each is constructed to respect the stone’s natural geometry rather than forcing uniformity.
Our three designs
- Prism Vertical:
Floating North South Edition
A natural Merelani Tanzanite crystal set in a refined four prong vertical orientation, allowing light to pass freely through the prism structure.The elongated silhouette enhances the the natural pleochroism of blue and violet tones, creating movement with every turn.Designed to appear weightless, this piece celebrates the raw geometry of Earth-born crystal in its purest expression.
2. Prism Square
A structured four prong floating design embracing the neutral block formation of Merelani Tanzanite.This setting preserves the crystal integrity while allowing maximum light exposure.Bold yet minimalist reflects precision, balance and strength-ideal for collectors who appriciate a natural symmetry.
3. Prism Trigon
A rare triangular Merelani Crystal secured in a three prong floating setting.This edition highlights natural geometric formation with minimal Silver interference creating an almost suspended effect.Each pendant represents the intersection of natural crystallography and intentional design
