MYSTERY SETTING
The Mystery Set technique was patented by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1933. It is a unique way of setting stones where no prongs are visible. It is such an intricate technique that a clip takes approximately 300 hours of work, by one of the few artist jewellers in the world that can master it.
