How to Make a Pinwheel Prong Setting: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial is about making a fun type of prong setting from a sterling disc. This is an intermediate project. For materials, I used 18 gauge (1.02 mm) sterling sheet, and 14 gauge (1.6 mm) sterling square wire. The stone is a 9 mm round brilliant citrine. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and a liquid flux.

Exquisite setting and I just love the way you describe your thought process, so very clearly and enjoyably - including the occasional giggle. Thank you Chad! 💞 From Sydney Australia

[@patredden4557]

Another great video, unique setting. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Pat! I'm really glad you liked it:)

[@JustME-ft4di]

Love that setting! Thanks Chad! Having made them do you have the ratio of the stone size to the disc? That way you could work it out for any size stone. Did you tumble them before cutting the seats to take the sharp edges off? Do you think you could do it with smooth cabachons and not dome them?

[@chadssilversmithing]

It should be about 9/14 based on my crude math:). I didn’t tumble it, but did some pre polishing with my rotary tool.

[@billroeder341]

I really enjoy your videos and all that you teach us, but the only issue I have is that when you will post a link in the upper corner I never see it or can find one. Keep up all the great work you do.

[@chadssilversmithing]

@@billroeder341 Hello Bill. If you go to the video description, they are listed after it as well:)
