Millegraining: A setting style most popular in Edwardian jewellery where pavé set diamonds are surrounded by a minute row of beaded (grain-like) patterning.
The preferred metal for Art Deco Jewelry was platinum, although white gold and silver is also seen. The finer pieces of Art Deco ornaments are handmade, with hand engraving and millegraining.
