It depends on who is making the jewelery.
I made a necklace in Brazil and went to the shop where they put the necklace together.
They had some pre-formed pieces where you would put the diamonds in.
He arranged them into the design that I liked.
Then, the jeweler sprayed some coating to hold it together and piece by piece soldered each little gold thing together.
