Bezel Setting an Oval Brilliant Cut | Advanced Stone Setting Techniques | Metalsmith Academy

In this video I'm setting an oval CZ in a 1mm thick sterling silver bezel using ball burs to cut the seat. Be warned - it's not as easy as it looks! But once you've got to grips with basic tube setting, this is a great (if not slightly more stressful) next step!
BTW - the bezel is superglued to a wooden base which is held in my GRS Tools Micro Ball Vice. To get the setting off the wood, I'll just give it a soak in acetone or squeeze the wood in a vice so the setting pops right off.

Beautiful! Please, show us how to set some baguette gemstones as well 😊

[@adiem1653]

[@cat0holic]

Brilliant work and instruction, inspiring!

Thank you Lucy! Brilliant and so helpful! Love your hair!

[@michalshalon3214]

Brilliant Lucy! Even though I've done it before there are always new tricks you can see with your wonderful videos!

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

Thank you Michal! it's coming soon to the website in full detail :) just gotta retake setting by hand for the 4th time - camera angles are killing me! xx

[@victoriaharrison-sewell6717]

Super! I'm new to the advanced stuff, you make it look soo easy! Thank you for sharing this, it really is helpful..

[@fatimahbint6879]

I love love this thank you so much so detailed and precise 😍

[@fuZzZFiA]

Holy Moly you are skilled!! Great video - just mesmerizing!

[@wormemc]

You make it look so easy. I'm doing this on a marquise faceted stone this afternoon. I still might be able to save it tomorrow. Fingers crossed. This definitely helped.

[@DomartelloArteeamor]

Congratulations on the great job. Thanks for sharing . Greetings straight from Brazil.

So beautiful 😮

[@MacherlaPrabhakar]

Great techniques 🙏

[@tlojewelrylove]

Beautiful work! ❤️❤️❤️ You have a pair of amazingly steady hands and a very nice swivel vice and I bet that helps a lot. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to cut a seat so evenly free-handed. Anyway, that was a very nice demonstration. I suppose it's time for me to practice making tube bezel settings. Thank you. 👍🙂

[@terrisidell7041]

Thank-you for sharing!!

[@judecaspian1871]

@Chance Trace instablaster ;)

[@chancetrace4532]

@Jude Caspian I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@chancetrace4532]

@Jude Caspian It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass!

[@judecaspian1871]

[@afkarmix]

thank you

[@Andromedan3912]

VERY cool!

[@darknessislight3689]

Most of my jewelry is bezel set including my engagement ring and band 😊 I love this setting so much. You do absolutely gorgeous work 🥰 you’re very talented 🥇🏆

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

Thank you so much! I love the look of bezel setting too :)

[@Opalmizer]

Hi Lucky Walker. Thank you for sharing. I found it informative. I would like to recommend that you fire the Smurf orchestra though.

[@respond2julie]

Such a beautiful setting! How would you recommend polishing a similar stone, Rubellite set in the same way if it develops a few scratches?

[@monette570]

Hi Lucy! Fantastic video as usual! Thank you for this. I’d like to know what the first measurement is that you take with the calipers? Is it from the table to the girdle? Thank you. Your friend, JM

[@amruushamruush3914]

So o clearly 🥰

[@Annie59G]

Nice job! A bright cut inside the bezel next to the stone gives a nice finishing touch on top of removing the excess metal covering (and hiding) the stone. Which is a common problem in stones set by people who mostly learn by themselves.

[@veee3027]

Thanks

[@iwk-world]

Thank you very much for this video! I am only just wondering what kind of material you put the drills in before starting?

[@tattoofthesun]

Omg look at all that silver wire in the back on the wall!!!!!! I’m drooling. You have all the nicest stuff! That vice is like 600-800 $

[@asterism.x]

I just got an emerald ring and it’s bezel set but the back of the stone is completely covered by the metal (gold). This seems odd to me as all my other gemstone rings have at least a small opening behind the stone. I think it’s better with an open back because more light can shine through the stone. I’m wondering if this is something a jeweler could fix by removing the stone from the bezel setting, cutting a hole in the back of the setting and re-setting the stone. Or would it be too risky & damage the ring too much to attempt this? Great video! I think i’m going to try some jewelry making classes someday.

[@jenbottoms8625]

Now it's made how do you get it soldered to another piece without damaging the stone? Thanks I loved the video it helped me out very much.

[@frome3697]

Lucy, what brand divider are you using? Starrett? Thank you for EVERYTHING!

[@indira3]

Hi Lucy, how do you call the last “burr” you used around the bezel once it was all set? A kind of burnisher you used with the foredom. Thank you very much!

[@Marcia-xp9ty]

Great presentation! But it would be helpful if you added text or verbalized what was taking place. For instance, what’s holding the setting in place? What tools are being used? Walking the novice through each step. Things like that. I guess you could say.... look at it from the perspective of the newbie and create your content with that mind. Thanks!

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

We do have online classes available lovely where we go into all the juicy details :) we are currently closed for enrolment but you can sign up to the waitlist if you visit lucywalkerjewellery.com :)

[@Partnerthedog]

I liked how their was no talking

[@amruushamruush3914]

Wooow nice

[@rakeshdas4326]

I am a jewellery setter man ,,, but I like your video,,,,,,,, love form indian ❤️❤️

[@GoldenRamMtlmstr]

What size is your ball bur? And what wheels are you using to polish up?

[@epicunderstament867]

Hello, I hope you can help! How do you do rubover set a single round stone on signet rings? Should I use a flat top with straight edge stone and just glue it? Or a flat top with single bevel stone? If using a FTSB stone that is 1.5mm in height, do i need the bevel to be a bit higher than the stone? And what would the thickness of the bezel should be? Many thanks in advance!

[@johnmimist]

Oh but Lucy, how were you measuring how low to go on the outer scribe? I had an emerald, and tried to scribe the inner bezel and damn it all, it left a scratch on the stone. Was my burnisher too small and pointy, because it for sure was smoother and polished. If I go bigger, I get flashing. I am trying to learn a bright cut, and I am signed up and took many classes. Hope to enjoy many more,

[@mman6283]

Awesome

[@user-qf3uo9jd6e]

Hi maam... How to get this exact results on a middle of a flat surface metal.. do i have to carve around it to make it a lip that can be hammer to lock the rock?... If yes can i see how it looks?

[@michacyra9561]

What microscope are you using on this video? Looks very helpful with stone setting :-)

[@sheikdeabreu]

I'm interested in all different precious gemstones mounter & setter

[@mahdihj8032]

Hello, what kind of hammer do you use to knock around the wall?

[@darkstar3246]

Is there anyway you would do a tutorial on making a rectangulart type bezel (rectangular gem with 8 sides) ? OR can you atleast tell me is it possible to make a bezel for this type of stone without using a bezel punch? Thanks

[@tradingnewb]

what did you use to stick metal to wood to hold it

[@dhananjayghodke1106]

Wow 🎉

[@alikat5131]

Where can I buy this sort of equipment, I'm just starting out and it's it's dream to be able to make this.

[@suzysilk3797]

Great video, can you tell me how you secure the bezel to the block of wood please 🙂

[@shaolingrrl]

I was wondering that too.

[@bonniemagpiejewellery]

It’s superglue... remove with acetone 😊

[@suzysilk3797]

@@bonniemagpiejewellery thank you 🙂

[@nataliebarat4329]

She explains it all on her comment below the video, superglue then soak it in acetone to remove from wood.

[@cpayne1757]

I wonder if nail glue would be as effective as super glue or cheaper...??

[@user-cx7vn6en7r]

I learned to cut the seat for this type of setting with a flat needle file, and this looks MUCH less time consuming (once you get the hang of it.)

[@flaviacarraradesambuy1350]

Hi! are you using glue to hold the piece? What is the name please, and how do you remove it after? tks!!

[@BournOpal351]

Would you be able to tell me what it is you are using to grab/hold the gemstone please??

[@kbaxterpackwood]

How did you attach the silver oval piece to the wood so that it was flush? Also thank you for your videos. I'm not a jewelry metalsmith but I do work with metals and gemstones, in addition to wood, leather, and natural dyed fabrics to create my assemblage pieces.

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

It's just superglue :) I remove it later by soaking it in acetone

[@Gothicsummer67]

anyone know the name of the mini jewelers jackhammer she uses towards the end? I am new at this

[@cpayne1757]

What is the trick with the super glue?? My setup looks about the same as yours, but even soaking in acetone won't dissolve the glue.??

[@gabrielaeperez6873]

What did you use to glue the bezel down ?

[@jeannettestephenson4023]

How did you make the bezel oval to fit the stone?

[@martinfigueira8485]

Hay alguna forma de activar los subtitulos para otro idioma ? Gracias

[@akhabe2426]

hello what is the electric tool to use for stone setting?

[@kimmolenda3349]

Where do you get the silver piece to create the settings?

[@user-fk6di1li4m]

Hola amiga cómo puedo adquirir o comprar esa máquina para engastar

[@annahuang8757]

I come from a Chinese handmade jewelry factory.i see making that are very cool

[@helenhillhoppe4322]

May I ask where you got the 1mm thick bezel? Thanks for all your videos, I love watching.

[@michalshalon3214]

I suspect Lucy made the bezel from sheet. ;)

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

Thanks Michal - yeah it’s just 1mm sheet :)

[@prospectvic]

Gidday Lucy, love your tutorials, can u please tell me wat that impact stone setter is called please, I think I want one

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

This is a foredom hammer handpiece :) it certainly makes life easier!

[@MariMuthu-mz1we]

Where should I get the tools send me the website link

[@painthorsedreams]

How did you adhere the silver bezel to the wood plate and how did you remove it after setting the stone?

[@LucyWalkerJewellery]

Superglue and acetone he he he - it's simple but it works!

[@rdxthestoneexplorer7793]

Hi good morning madam I like your work and so nice . But please tell me that gem stone name please

[@beatricekunnert2433]

Beautiful! May i ask what hammer handpiece you use. I'm looking for one as we speak. I only have a HF flexshaft so not sure what handpiece will work.

[@LeTrashPanda]

A regular reciprocating hammer does fine.

[@marcelluswallace8050]

Are you a trained goldsmith/ gemsetter? Im just curious...
