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.
