You’ll learn to mould the clay precisely around your stone, accounting for shrinkage and choosing a strong adhesive, creating a secure and beautiful result that mimics traditional bezels.
3. CLAW SETTING
The classic claw setting, made in silver clay. This tutorial will teach you how to form tiny claws that hold your stones in place safely and beautifully.
No soldering or metalsmithing. It will also show you a way to account for clay shrinkage. Perfect for larger or uniquely shaped stones.
4. TRADITIONAL BEZEL
Explore a simplified approach to the traditional bezel setting using ready-made bezels. These settings do not shrink, so one less problem to worry about! You’ll learn where to get these settings and how to work with them. This tutorial will teach you how to ensuring proper join with silver clay and how to close your bezels to secure your stone, giving your handmade pieces a professional, timeless look. Still no metalsmithing!
5. TRADITIONAL PRONG SETTING
A classic prong setting using embeddable prongs. Like the embeddable bezel, these type of settings also don't shrink!
