Four claw stud earrings

Check out this simple way to make a four claw basket setting for a round stone.

I can't believe it... I DID IT!! 👍😄 My post earrings aren't perfect but I did not have to do it twice and I didn't melt anything. Lol! Thank you so much for such thorough instructions. Now that I have made one pair, I can only get better from here. This was the best tutorial for prong settings EVER! 👍 If you were rated on stars instead of thumbs up, I'd give you five stars all the way! 😊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

you couldn't have made a better demonstration, you unraveled a mystery to many of us apprentices. thank you , Hector 😊

[@citylifegirl24]

This is the easiest approach to the setting that I've ever seen! Thank you!

[@woodndrum303]

Brilliantly done. What a great demo. Good clear video shows every step and a few pitfalls to avoid. Nice relaxing commentary unhurried and reassuring tone. Mastering this will easily lift your potential to a higher level. Many thanks.

[@Aerodauphin]

Very helpful. I’m making my daughter ruby studs for Christmas and that’s exactly what kind of setting I need to make. It’s simple and straightforward and I will be done with them faster than I cut the ruby. Thank you for the instructional video. 🙏

[@Louise-zs9rl]

I have my ears pierced 5 times in each ear and I just have to learn how to make earrings after watching this excellent video. I was mesmerised😁

[@tlojewelrylove]

It was an awesome tutorial for sure! I'm right behind you... I have 4 piercings in each ear (IF none have closed on me) and it's cheaper to make sterling earrings than to buy them. It's also very rewarding to get compliments on jewelry that one make for themselves. 😊

[@gabriellekelly8017]

This looks great! I'm definitely having a go at this. Thanks for the nice clear demo. 😁

[@juliantorres8469]

Great explanation! I just got one question, If to use a stone from 3mm or less, should I use the same 1mm wire?

[@ЛеонидКузьмич-й9м]

Nice work m8 ! 👍👍👍

[@tlojewelrylove]

This is such an EXCELLENT tutorial! 👍 Due to unforseen circumstances I never was able to try this last year but now I'm ready. ❓❓❓ QUESTION... you put the notch in the post beautifully using the saw and cutters. I saw another tutorial that simply squeezed a notch onto the post using the small end of round nose pliers. For someone who's never done this before would you recommend the notch be done with pliers OR would you recommend practicing on some scrap wire and then cut the notch into the earring post (it would be disheartening to accidentally cut through it)? Or... maybe it's a personal preference? ❓ THANKS!! 😀

[@misskawaii759]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us

[@tlojewelrylove]

This is a brilliant video tutorial! 👍 I have 18ga/1mm and 20ga/0.9mm sterling silver round wire on hand as well as some 8mm round CZs. I'd imagine the measurements you used would still work for me since your stone and my stone are so close in size, right? I can't wait to try this tomorrow. Thanks!!! 🙂

[@realtalkphph]

Easiest stone setting ive seen and it is cleaner than other setters. There are stone setters out there who has so many steps LOL stupid cocky setters 😂

Great video

[@jeffuryca]

Wonderful vid. Seriois question: I am quite literally in the process of making these for a .36 carat diamonds, matching set, using reclaimed white gold. Why 60 degrees and not 90? Is this an aesthetic thing, two prongs a wee bit to one side? Wouldn't the diamonds be better secured by direct opposite mounting that 90 degrees would create? Thanks and happy holidays.

[@marciadeoliveira6108]

Thank you!!! Loved it!

[@vision3690]

Thank you!!

[@Vladimir_JP]

Отличное видео !!! Спасибо за уроки, они открывают нам глаза на многие вещи.

[@BethGreen999]

Do you change the angle degree on the protractor based on the size of the stone?

[@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978]

Yes if you want it to be set at a different height

[@jarlathmcnee3833]

Thank you, it helps simplifying it to basic cuts and shapes. Less soldering and fidgeting around.

[@chrisgregory670]

What is the ratio for the jump ring for a larger or smaller diamond? You earlier mentioned the jump ring should be 1.5 mm less than the stone. In the portion of the video that you mark 4mm to set the ring, what would you put it at for a different stone size?

[@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978]

Make the jumpring 20% smaller than the stone. Stick with 4mm for smaller stones, larger stones will need slightly longer claws for stone setting.

[@normantorok5919]

Loved that demo. thx

Have you done a video for a square Princess cut stone?

[@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978]

Not princess cut earrings but lots of rings on the website

[@Ty-ri7dy]

Can you please give insight on why the measurement of 4.5mm was chosen @9:11 for this 7mm stone? Is that to provide adequate amount of room for the stone and the 1mm thick prongs or is there some other calculation?

[@deborahkthompson154]

Amazing

[@tammygurl64]

Excellent tutorial! 👍 This will be my next challenge as a novice jeweler. I don't have a tumbler yet so do you happen to have any tips for cleaning up and polishing the setting without a tumbler? Thank you very much! 🙂

[@swashlybuckli]

What gauge wire would you use for cut gems about 1.5 - 2mm across? I tried with 0.8mm ss but it seems too heavy for the gem

[@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978]

@@swashlybuckli that size is very small for this type of setting. I would use 0.6mm

[@swashlybuckli]

@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978 ya they are tiny, collected them near where I live and cut them myself. Cool thabks ordered some 0.6mm

Hi, great video. Really appreciate the content you share, I intend to subscribe. One question please: although not used in this build, what is the name of the file I have seen you use with flat smooth sides and half round profile for cutting the groove for prongs. Slot file? I cant find it anywhere. Thank you.

[@gabrielfabula606]

I think you're talking about a "ring file"

[@CosmicChannel9]

So what do you do about the clip marks at the top of the prong?

[@MrSwosh89]

Shouldn't you finish off the prongs WITHOUT a stone in the setting? And after the setting is done you put in the stone? Or are those like placeholder stones to get the right sizing?

[@Ty-ri7dy]

No you have to learn how to work around set stones, since a lot of the time, you're going to have to scratch the prongs/etc in order to do the setting. In fact, with some settings the recommended way is to file the prongs down by hand while avoiding the stone. Very meticulous and frightening work, especially with soft stones. Fortunately, diamonds are very hard, but you still don't want to run your file along them. There are files designed with teeth on only one side to facilitate this. I had to learn this the hard way after making my first setting.

[@MrSwosh89]
