(57) The invention is a new wax pattern for the production of jewels set with stones, provided with protrusions to create the stone seats, wherein said protrusions have inclined side walls and the top side shorter than the base. According to the process adopted to set stones on wax patterns with protrusions, each stone is pressed into its seat and deforms the inclined walls of said protrusions, creating recesses that have exactly the same size as the edge of the stone itself.
