What is Chaton?

Also known as: Chaton bezel

Definition

A chaton is the metal cup-shaped seat that holds a gemstone in place. In Indian jewellery, the chaton is often sculpted with decorative edges (scalloped, milgrain, embossed) so the seat itself is part of the design, not just a functional holder. Chaton settings are used across Kundan, Jadau, temple and modern styles.
