What is it?
The Unilock setting is a patented housing for setting a gem stone flush or above any jewelry item permanently.

How it works?
The Unilock has the ability to create its own press fit action when the barrel shaped tube is squeezed inside one hole using an impact tool where it remains permanently locked.

For what its used?
The Unilock is used to set any round stone over any jewelry item- castings, stampings, turned or formed without solder or glues. The Unilock is used with gold, silver, steel, titanium, tungsten carbide, ceramic, aluminum, and wood or inside any gemstone, pearl, coral, onyx etc.

Any similar existing product that it can be compared to and what are those differences?
The Unilock can be compared to Signity’s Pre-Setting, with its calibrated stones. However, the Unilock can use any uncalibrated stone and hole inside the jewelry. The Unilock is seamless and the barrel shape exercises a uniform holding pressure all around the inside of the wall of the hole.

Is it easy to use?
The Unilock needs only one drill to create the hole and only one impact tool to lock it into place (both the drill and the impact tool are available through Stone Set Technologies.)

What are the advantages in production?
The Unilock eliminates the time consuming process of sorting and calibrating stones. It eliminates the one by one hand setting cost factors. An unskilled operator can assemble simply and quickly any round stone over any metal or material-which was never before possible. The Unilock is used today by Jewelry Manufacturers as a modular system to reduce production costs and to reduce their jewelry inventory as they can assemble the requested colored stones instantly at the time of the receipt of their order.

Currently a new element for Designers?
The Unilock is a vehicle that can be loaded not only with stones but with any round object up to ¼” in diameter-for example emblems; and then be set into the jewelry either above or flush, without solder or glues.
