Preciosa stones in settings are precision-cut Czech-made chatons and fancy stones supplied ready-mounted in a metal setting, so you can sew or connect them straight into a design without setting each stone by hand. Every stone sits securely in its setting with the faceted crown fully exposed for maximum brilliance, with sew holes or a loop for stitching to fabric or joining into jewellery. Available across a range of shapes, sizes and colours in retail and wholesale quantities with no minimum order, ideal for sew-on jewellery, bridal, dancewear, costume and bead embroidery work.

What Are Preciosa Stones in Settings?
Preciosa stones in settings are chatons and fancy stones supplied already mounted in a metal setting, rather than as loose stones you set yourself. The stone is held securely in a cup or prong setting with its pointed back concealed and the faceted crown exposed, giving the depth and dimensional sparkle of a set stone with none of the mounting work. Most settings include sew holes or a loop so the stone can be stitched to fabric or connected into a jewellery design, making them ideal where a finished, ready-to-apply set stone is required.
What Shapes and Sizes Are Available?
Preciosa stones in settings are offered across a range of round chaton and fancy stone shapes, drawing on the same comprehensive shape selection that defines the wider Preciosa range, including round, navette, oval, pear and other fancy forms. Round chatons are measured in the PP and SS systems, while fancy stone sizes are given in millimetres by their longest dimension. Settings are available in a choice of metal finishes to match the crystal colour and design direction. The exact shapes, sizes and finishes available are shown on each product listing.
What Are Preciosa Stones in Settings Used For?
Stones in settings are used wherever a finished, ready-to-apply set stone is needed. In sew-on jewellery and garment work, the settings are stitched directly to fabric through the sew holes, adding secure dimensional sparkle to bridalwear, dancewear, evening wear and costume pieces. In jewellery making, settings with a loop connect into chains, links and findings to build necklaces, bracelets and earrings. In bead embroidery, set stones provide a ready-made focal element around which seed beads are stitched. Because the stone is already set, they save the time and skill of hand-setting loose chatons.
Why Choose Preciosa Stones in Settings?
Preciosa produces its stones using high-quality lead-free glass with precision machine-cutting developed over five centuries of Bohemian glassmaking tradition. Consistent sizing and facet alignment across every batch gives reliable, repeatable results, essential for professional makers producing repeat designs. All stones are lead-free and REACH-compliant, available in retail and wholesale quantities with no minimum order at a more accessible price point than Austrian-made premium brands.
