Stone Set Technologies
Engineering a faster way to set stones.
For more than 30 years, we have pushed stone-setting technology forward. Gemstone Snappers brings that engineering directly to your workbench with a patented setting system designed and manufactured in the USA.
Our story
A singular mission, built over decades.
Founded over 30 years ago, Stone Set Technologies (SST) began with a singular mission: to revolutionize how the world sets gemstones. Ignited by the demand for faster, more reliable setting techniques, we have grown into an international industry leader serving a diverse customer base across the United States, Europe, China, and India.
Today, Gemstone Snappers is our flagship line of patented stone-setting tools and bezels. It puts decades of advanced engineering into a system that feels simple from the very first snap.
The bridge
Where gemstones meet modern jewelry design.
The gem industry keeps advancing with new cuts, sizes, and colors. At the same time, designers are creating with an unprecedented range of materials. Our technology connects those two worlds.
Mixed materials
Secure gemstone assembly across unconventional bases such as leather and wood.
New possibilities
Active research and development that keeps pace with new stones, colors, cuts, and applications.
Patented technology
Set stones in seconds.
Traditional stone setting can take 15 to 30 minutes per stone, requires specialized practice, and carries a constant risk of damaging valuable gems. We took the best aspects of setting technology and made them dramatically easier to use.
Our patented snap mechanism (US Patent No. 6,668,584) eliminates prongs, glue, soldering, and complex bezel pushing. Jewelers and hobbyists can set a stone perfectly in just 10 seconds, with zero prior experience required.
No specialized training
Professional-grade results from the first use.
Unmatched reliability
A 99.9% success rate with no risk to your stones.
No solder or glue
A clean mechanical setting that simplifies the entire process.
Built for what comes next
Engineering the future of jewelry manufacturing.
Our mission is to plan not just for the moment, but for the future of jewelry design. By recognizing how quickly jewelry manufacturing changes, we continue to provide setting technology made for the latest ideas and materials.
Whether you are a seasoned jeweler optimizing studio production or a passionate beginner exploring the craft, Gemstone Snappers empowers you to create flawless pieces instantly.
