The world of jewelry encompasses countless elements that sometimes elude us. It's not uncommon to browse through jewelry pieces, whether online or in stores, to find names that are familiar but unsure of what they are. Carat, ear jacket , chaton, choker ... are some of the examples we'll answer at MUMIT . So, if you've come this far wondering , "What is a chaton?" we'll explain it here.
The meaning
A chaton setting is a type of setting characterized by the way the gemstone is held in place within the jewel. In this setting, also known as a bezel setting , the metal encloses a large portion of the gemstone, leaving only the top portion visible .
The bezel setting is perfect for jewelry worn frequently, as it partially covers the diamond or gemstone, securing it perfectly and giving it a unique aesthetic. For this reason, it's the most commonly used setting for solitaire rings , although, in recent years, it's also been used in different types of jewelry (and at MUMIT, we have all the options).
Jewelry and chaton setting
This term, which comes from the French "chaton," refers to its box-like shape. The bezel and its distinctive interlocking pattern create timeless and versatile jewelry, ideal for any occasion. Designs like the Stud Colors Choker , where the setting is the highlight of the piece, are an example of how careful crafting can create a unique piece.
At MUMIT, we play with this type of setting in a variety of pieces: chaton necklaces , bracelets , earrings ... and even in our piercings and charms ! The diamond chatons featured in jewelry like the My Initial Choker are an example of a truly innovative piece of jewelry.
