[@gypsydancer64]

Well, I'm glad you showed this video. I was actually going to try to set a stone into a ring I'm bying from Ebay. Now I realize I don't have the right tools or experience. You just saved me from a disaster. I'll just take it to a professional.

[@MajimeTV]

This is the first time I find a video that actually explains how the setting holds the stone in place! Great video for students as it shows the whole process!

[@yujeanyee]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I was literally looking for somebody who could describe the process in a drawing.

[@RoseLilyClover]

This guy sounds like Toby from The Office (U.S)

[@coupangkok]

This really helps me to understand how stone setting works. Wow! What a delicate work!

[@peterpeterson3266]

I love this guy! He is a great teacher and video maker.

[@goldfishgames]

Thank you! I have a CZ sterling ring where the main stone was out. I put it back in after watching your video. The ring is for travel, not overly valuable. But I knocked it on a dog cage and popped the CZ out.

[@samaudio4271]

very good video thanks for sharing

[@Saywhatohno]

How do you know how big the groove has to be so that the diamond fits in?

[@erosangelos9422]

[@bbboop2568]

Hehe that satisfied giggle at @5:15 hehe

[@aimeedomash]

You make this look so easy... :-) its not easy to make a setting!!!

[@lonewolf333]

Nice video and great clarity! I use a Foredom TX300 with a standard handpiece and I do pretty good. I have a question though: Does the quick change hand piece make it much easier to control, since it is thinner than the standard hand piece? It looks like you're able to control it more like you would a pencil so it seems to offer better coordination than my hand piece, which feels more like those fat permanent markers.

[@TuanLeLe1]

could you please show us how to set 4 princess diamonds into a ring, please. They are all same size diamond. Many thanks.

[@KaylaWave13]

really awesome video!

[@tinkertaylor6993]

Wonderful tutorial thank you! I am just wondering what is the name of the drill bit you use to cut the grooves please?

[@laurastephanierosasdiaz231]

How often do diamonds fall off the set up? Just last August I got my engagement ring and just a couple of weeks ago the diamond fell off the ring :(

[@kolbieleemurphey]

Do you have a video explaining how to make the pronged bezel??

[@grannynara]

I’m hoping there are less expensive tools that I can use to achieve the same results. Is that possible?

[@donnasullivan3983]

Hi, could u tell me how to keep a big stone ring sitting up st8 and not the stone from swing side to side on my finger like it's loose. Please help. It goes over my knuckle like it should but then it's like it's loose swinging. Thx

[@clutch747]

[@LollyDavey]

Thank you!

[@alex-yb8ku]

Nice video

[@maryannpetri3230]

Perfect thank you!

[@bartblack8054]

As far as holding the ring when you are shaping and filing, etc, I see people put the ring in what looks like melted resin/pitch, then when it cools they can rotate it accordingly. What is this mysterious resin/pitch that ring makers use? Someone told me mastic, but I can't find it on any jewelry making supply store. I need a good way to hold fragile small pieces to engrave.

[@davidlane147]

Bart Black It's called Shellac. When heated it goes soft kind of like putty but when it cools it goes super hard. Then you just heat it gently with a flame to remove the item

[@petragems]

When you have wholesale prices on designer rings, you don't have to worry about setting it up yourself! just count on us!!!

[@Lighthouse170]

Now assuming the stone doesn't snap into place, would I use pliers to gently pull prongs apart?

[@Dhunna_vlogs1]

Please tell me the tools that used in this video

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

nice

[@karinlefevre9988]

How do you know the best Burr size for the gem and setting. Great vid by the way!!

[@davidlane147]

Karin Lefevre Experience. But you would usually choose one the match the girdle of the stone so it's a nice snug fit

[@julialindsay4188]

Hi there, I am going into jewelry design.. Could I get a detailed list of your equipment and maker that you showed in this video.. Please.

[@TheToxicFPS]

foredom sr motor. foredom h.10 handpiece with duplex spring. 3/32 shank heart bur. grs engraving ball (microball recommended). some kind of optivizor or stereo microscope meiji 10 or leica. you can buy cheap cubic zirconia for practicing ar ottofrei

[@OstazFarid]

[@kleinbittersdorf]

"How is the stone stay in my ring" Lol

[@toridactylband9383]

I wish there was a jeweler who could do this for me. Most of the guys here locally can't at all.

[@malca1945]

hi/ can you pls help me... i set a stone to deep in a silver ring - with strong glue..... i can not melt the glue to take out the stone. i tyried ecitone - nothing moved... have you a idea how can i melt the glue? thank you so much

[@karinlefevre9988]

What kind of marks(measurement wise) do you make before cutting the notch for the stone?

[@natespics8276]

What is the model/name of the tool you connect the burs to? I’m starting to make gemstone rings and I have to be able to make notches. Can you make them with files alone? Which file makes the notches? And which bur makes the notches?

[@scottrinehart5921]

What motor and flexshaft do you use? What is a good hand file set to get?

[@alluringbliss4165]

awesome

[@Saywhatohno]

what tool did you use to make the notches to mark the seat height?

[@ygnaciaramirezdecuadro1183]

super interesante y de mucho aprendizaje felicitaciones por su aporte al arte feliz t

[@mymusicaccount1456]

can an oval stone be replaced with an emerald cut of similar size?

[@humaini_hd]

Like this video

[@tokegry]

how do you figure out where to cut with the heartburr?

[@vaibhavlathigara7801]

Awesome

[@bimandas1437]

There are no vacancies for work? please tell me

[@janozen397]

can a cushion diamond be set in a 6 claws setting? to make it look round? lets say if its almost a good square dimension. length n width is almost the same or exactly the same. Thank you

[@davidlane147]

Jano Zen Not really, the position of the claws will look unusual. you can get diamonds recut but you'll lose some of the weight of the stone

[@artax9683]

How do you know it is in the prongs straight and not crooked?

[@kawaipianos]

Hi Christopher, if I do not have access to a flex shaft, is it possible to use a dremel with the burs instead? Otherwise, what is the best flex shaft that I could get while on a tight budget?

[@Ty-ri7dy]

There are flex shafts that can be adapted to dremels. Good way to get started.

[@RLDWEBER]

Can you tell me about that file? I want one for some guitar work

[@MrMarlonliu]

hi, where to buy the file tool you use to shape the head of the prong? thanks.

[@robertjahrling1877]

Christopher that was pretty good. However are you up for a challenge. Can you unset and said an onyx Stone. You see I had a house fire and lost everything. As I was sitting through the ashes I had found my father's Ring. Instead of a nice deep black it is now a dull Gray and also has a chip in it. I imagine it would have to be unset to fix the stone."polishing and or whatever" Can you do it???????

[@gingerweade6270]

I'd like to watch the video -- it's not working for some reason. I can't figure out why, or what I need to do. Guidance?

[@soundtrackiwalkto]

Cool.

[@mauropereiradacruz2954]

Tenho pedras para de diámante brutas para fazer jóias..

[@theresamendoza3353]

I wore my engagement ring everyday for the past three years and the diamond fell out last Saturday. I sent it to get fixed and this what they are doing.

[@bretmelton7116]

If you are doing this procedure with a moisannite, because its softer than diamond, is there any additional risk???

[@elizabetha.1198]

I'm not a professional as he is, although Moissanite is just slightly softer than diamond, I've used the same technique on Moissanite and it works beautifully.

[@mmarandomizedboxingcreated3935]

So you aren't melting any metal into the stones correct?

[@skarekr0w3]

What is the bracket that holds the stone? I'm trying to find out what the front of a ring is called. The up side. The face. Is there a term? I can't find one.

[@davidlane147]

Eric Ek The part where the stone is set into is called the collet

[@skarekr0w3]

I asked that a long time ago and I completely forgot why I even wanted to know. I thought it was important, my life moved on, but now I know, and all I have to do is remember the reason I asked. I'm half way there again, so thank you. I have never heard of that until now. Important momentarily useless information I probably won't use later, because I can't remember why I wanted to know in the first place... But I will remember collet now. And no one will ever ask me what it means.

[@Gloria8548]

Wow!

[@maryshoemake6568]

[@karinlefevre9988]

Where can a person get a round vice type thing like that?

[@sharid76]

Anyplace that sells professional jeweler's bench supplies should be able to take care of it. Even Amazon, but in that case, you need to be sure that you are dealing with a reputable supplier of good quality supplies and equipment. It's cheaper in the long run to pay for quality up front, rather than spending much more in the long run by replacing cheap, poor quality items more often. Inquire of professional jewelers in your area what sources they use for their bench supplies. There may be a source you can deal with locally and in person that you may not be aware of. Face to face is almost always better than online merchandising. However, having said that, Stuller is one good source, with quality merchandise, an online presence as well as physical catalogs available to professional jewelers, as they are strictly wholesalers, and do not sell to the general public. I happen to know that our local family-owned and operated jewelry store (third generation management, going on four) with in-house goldsmith for repair and creation, watch repair, engraving, etc., uses them for most all their equipment and supplies.

[@Smorss2011]

It's a ball vise (with an "s"). GRS seems to be one of the standard manufacturers. Look at Aliexpress for good prices.

[@sebastian_gawel]

Thank you Master!

[@gandhianyan9197]

What is the estimated cost of setting a stone in a ring?

[@user-me5ko6fu2h]

😍😍

[@Blackoutpb14]

I'm currently in the process of trying to finish the settings but I seem to have a hard time making the ends of the prongs perfectly round with the cup bur...any advice?

[@RuptureV2]

Practice

[@davidlane147]

J&J Productions I prefer to use a flat needle file to round it off then the rouge mop gives the claws a nice even finish

[@natespics8276]

David Lane David can you throw up a link on eBay or amazon so I can purchase that file?

[@hawaiidoves]

My wife, has a diamond ring that her mother left for her after she passed. The ring, has four claws to keep it in its setting. Two of the claws look normal, the other two look like it was there just to support the stone, and it doesn't wrap the entire stone at the top of the stone. Do you think this OK?

[@IrieGuitar]

No, get it remounted by a professional

[@hawaiidoves]

Andres, thank you. We already did. Now there's four claws that are holding the stone in place.

[@SabA-es8sb]

How can the diamond break when it's the theoretically an indestructible stone?

[@Tetraxenonogold_II]

Hardness doesn't mean it's indestructible. You can smash a diamond with a hammer. But you can't scratch it🤷‍♂️

[@trainingwolves7]

Anyone else getting a Toby (The Office) vibe from this guy?
