潜在问题与工程特征

在这个例子中，一位销售人员出售了一颗未镶嵌的钻石和一个铂金戒指底座

这是我们库存的最后一个这种镶座，最初是用来镶嵌小得多的钻石。但是，销售人员承诺会在当天晚些时候准备好戒指，然后说服店内的镶工师傅将更大的钻石镶嵌在这个小镶座上。

为了满足对快速周转和更大颗钻石的需求，珠宝商被迫向外推动镶爪来改变镶座

边箍能够增强镶嵌的稳定性。这种镶嵌没有边箍，可能会造成镶爪移动，加大了宝石脱落的风险。

这颗钻石被镶嵌在太小的镶座中。由于镶爪被展开，用来固定镶嵌的金属所剩无几。

In this example, a sales associate has sold a loose diamond and a platinum ring mounting.

将镶爪延伸得太远会破坏其结构。它们现在很容易被向外弯曲得过远，从而造成宝石脱落。

镶爪与冠部的接触面进行了最小化。这种镶嵌很容易造成宝石脱落。

这个铂金镶座采用压模技术打造而成。这些镶爪由压模从片料中切下，进行组装，然后用电炉进行焊接。制造完成后，使用焊炬将它们焊接至镶座。

This platinum setting is made using a process called die-striking. The prongs are cut away from sheet-stock by a die, assembled, and then oven-soldered. Once they are made, they are torch-soldered into the ring mounting.

铂金冲压部件通常由最初用来设计镍基白金产品的冲模制成。由专门用来设计白金产品的冲模制成的镶爪太薄。它们会在制造和正常佩戴的过程中移动。

具有类似数量的基本金属时，铂合金呈现更好的可塑性，不像镍基白金合金那么坚硬。铂金的众多优良属性之一是其可塑性。折叠或弯曲后，它不像白金一样会弹回。

当冲压镶座被焊接至戒指后，通常会导致对镶爪金属进行热锻处理，让其可塑性更好，更易于移动

现实生活中的后果：这是一个真实的故事，但细节部分有所出入。一位零售商设计并制作了一个专门定制的铂金镶座，用来镶嵌 22.50 克拉的圆形明亮式钻石。这枚戒指由 90% 的铂金和 10% 的铱全手工打造而成，这是所有铂合金中最柔软、可塑性最好的合金之一。

镶爪接触面非常少

需要将镶爪挖空来镶嵌小长方钻。不得不移除大部分结构性支撑，以确保宝石安全。

镶嵌和戒指镶托中使用了最少金属

该镶爪的倾斜角度非常大，使得镶爪在日常佩戴过程中很容易弯向外侧

在正常佩戴后头几个小时内，戒指上方遭到碰撞，22.50 克拉的中心钻石居然脱落了！并没有使用很大的冲击力，镶爪也没有移动，镶座就打开了，导致钻石掉落。

冲击力迫使钻石向下移动，反过来又将镶爪推向外侧，从而使钻石脱落。镶爪接触面不足导致了钻石脱落。

低层的边箍提供的支持很少

铂金镶爪没有记忆，这表示其弯曲后就不会弹回。没有金属记忆且具有适当尺寸的镶爪变得炙手可热，因为不具有弹性可以增强宝石的安全性。

陡峭的角度让镶爪很容易向外弯曲。此外，所有镶爪都被挖空，方便镶嵌小长方钻，这进一步削弱了其结构的稳定性。

现实生活中的后果：和使用了特定规格以实现安全镶嵌的戒指相比，这款戒指最初的定制镶座设计显示出了极大的脆弱性。对于要镶嵌 22.5 克拉钻石的镶座来说，应尽量降低宝石脱落的可能性。
