1. What is a chaton
The word chaton comes from the French "chaton", a word that means mouthpiece translated into Spanish.
Chaton is a type of setting, i.e. a way of attaching stones to chains without any attachment. We could say that it is a type of soldering that allows the chain and the detail to be joined in a clean way.
Today, the chaton is also known as a "bezel" setting. This type of setting is a metal ring that surrounds the stone and bends slightly behind it.
It should be noted that chaton is not only one of the most widely used settings, but chaton is one of the safest settings on the jewelry market, so it is very likely that you have this type of setting in your jewelry box.
