What is a diamond illusion setting?
An illusion diamond is a type of jewelry setting that uses an optical illusion to make the diamond appear larger than it actually is. This is achieved by placing a small, clear diamond in the center of the setting, surrounded by a ring of larger i.e., metal (As seen in the below image). The result is a ring or pendant that sparkles brightly and looks much more impressive than it would if only a single diamond was used.
History of diamond illusion setting:
The illusion setting was invented by French Jeweler Oscar Massin, in the year 1850. He wanted to change the setting process which helped him to maximize the diamond size by manipulating the setting used with the metal.
This type of setting was originally called ‘the illusory setting’ and which gain popularity as it was a budget-friendly alternative. It is also known as the MIRACLE setting or TIKLI setting (in Indian Market).
