GemSet Trellis: The Classic Interwoven Setting, Now Fully Parametric

GemSet Trellis brings a more controlled way to build elegant trellis settings in Rhino Artisan.

Designers can match the ring curvature, refine each prong profile, and adjust individual arms to create a setting that balances stone security, manufacturing requirements, and visual proportion.

Build the Trellis Around the Ring

A trellis setting is defined by the way its prongs cross and rise around the center stone. The structure must feel connected to the ring rather than placed on top of it.

It helps the setting follow the curvature of the ring, making it easier to develop a natural transition between the shank, gallery, and prongs.

This is especially useful when working with:

• Raised solitaire rings
• Cathedral-style shanks
• Tapered shoulders
• Split-shank designs
• Engagement rings with curved side profiles

Instead of repeatedly rebuilding prong geometry to match the ring, designers can focus on the overall silhouette and refine the structure directly around the existing design.

The best trellis settings combine elegance with practical construction. Start with the ring curvature, choose the right profiles, and then refine each arm until the setting supports both the stone and the character of the design.

RhinoArtisan 7.0 and New Possibilities

GemSet Trellis reflects a bigger shift in RhinoArtisan 7.0: giving jewelers more flexibility, more control, and more ways to refine complex settings without slowing down the design process.

By combining ring curvature matching, customizable prong profiles, and individual control over every arm, Trellis helps designers move from an initial setting concept to production-ready geometry with greater precision.

RhinoArtisan 7.0 launches this September 18th.
