Creative settings 1: Pearl setting (round), Claw setting, Bezel setting

During this course you can expect a detailed explaination about these three kind of settings. You learn to create every setting yourself and you learn how to make variations, so you will be able to use different kind of stones.

There are so many different kind of stones and pearls (size, colour, price) that it is required to purchase your own material.

• For the bezel setting you can use a smooth stone as well as a cutted one in every geometrical shape (round, square, octagon, rectangle).

• For the pearl setting you need a round pearl.

• The claw setting is meant for irregular stones, they do require two flat sides (up and bottom).

Make sure to bring silverplate and -wire, thickness: 1 mm.

Do you need some help to find the correct stones, don't hesitate to send me an email. Tip: stones used in rings should have a hardness 7.
