Stone Setting Class
This is a two day class
This class covers a selection of settings with varying degrees of difficulty including claw mounts.
You will be given extensive and detailed notes with seven different techniques for constructing stone settings to take away with you. This will enable you to make the settings at home if you don't get a chance to finish them all in the class.
The techniques covered include flat section prong setting, wire prong setting, basket prong setting, pedestal prong setting, 'U'-formed prong setting, 'X'-wire collet setting and crown collet setting.
These settings can be used for irregular shaped stones, cabochon stones of all shapes and facetted stones. Inexpensive stones will be available for sale from the tutor or you are welcome to bring your own.
