Stone Setting Tools for Beginners

[@Gnuchi]

Helpful video as always! Whenever I start to despair about not doing things "right", it definitely helps to think about the fact that people have been making jewelry for thousands of years without fancy electric-powered tools and that really there are no rules for how something "should" be done! Jewelry is art, after all :)

[@MiteraMade]

1000% yes!!! I love this! 🤗💜

Beautiful video! 🤍🥰And so much good info! Holy moly, you covered so many tools and setting techniques! This is a gold mine 🤩🤩🤩

[@trixyriver14]

I watched your vlog #5 today. Your such an inspiration. I love making jewelry from wire. I just started to sell it and I have to keep telling myself to be patient. I know I can be successful like you if I don't quit. I also hope to grow and learn more ways of making jewelry.

[@MiteraMade]

Thank you so much! 🥹💜 YES don’t ever quit, just keep learning and growing! Thank you for being here and watching my videos! 🙏🏻☺️ 💜

[@LloydHandmade]

Such a useful video. A graver preparation video would be very helpful too. I bought gravers months ago but haven't had the confidence to prepare them in their wooden handles yet.

[@MiteraMade]

Thank you!! Of course I will make that video for you then! 🙏🏻☺️💜💜

[@sherriworkman1234]

I was feeling sick today, watching your video was one of the bright spots of my day😊! The advice was great! I hope to do that some day when I'm older.😊. Do you think you could wear the earrings I made you in your next video?❤.

[@elenaauglyte7435]

Love your videos!!💖 Could you make one where you explain how you sharpen your gravers? Thanks a lot✨

[@MiteraMade]

Of course! I do share how to sharpen your gravers in my green setting video, but I could make a dedicated video about sharpening your graver and facing a graver 💜

[@Mazkay85]

Wow!! So much information! 😅 I'm going to have to watch this one a few times. I've got some 3mm cz stones to start practicing with, but I can put a shopping list together now for what I really need. 😊 Thank you.

[@MiteraMade]

It issss, I hope it wasn’t too much lol I did feel a little all over the place at times, there’s just so much to say🙈😂💜

[@holdenwatwood]

Thank you so much for your very insightful and educating videos. I’ve learned so much from you!❤

[@MiteraMade]

Thank you so much for being so kind! 🥹 I’m happy I can help!! 🙏🏻

[@MetalanGrain]

Great info as always! I do feel as a beginner who only does flush settings I think the combo of ball burs and hart burs work really well!

[@MiteraMade]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻🥹 I’ve never used hart burrs, I’ll have to give them a shot! 🫢💜💜

[@MetalanGrain]

@@MiteraMade 👍🏼 JTS hart burs on Amazon. They come from Germany and I typically use them on stainless steel and they work well as a final shaping but for the flush set.

[@JuanGarcia-cs3et]

Good tips

[@jwon5614]

Hey! Thanks for this video, I am learning a lot from you!!😂 would you make a video on using that ring vice jig? Thanks so much-your work is amazing ❤❤❤

[@MiteraMade]

Of course and thank you!! ☺️ you are referring to the encore vice right? The black one? 💜

[@sueverona6530]

Another excellent overview! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@MiteraMade]

Thank you so so much! 🥹💜

[@JuanGarcia-cs3et]

Thanks

[@jadenephrite]

Thank you for your video. Regarding 11:42, when a sharpening stone wears down, it will develop uneven divots, dimples or craters. These can be flat again by leveling out the face of sharpening stone by grinding on gritty sandpaper taped on top of a table or work bench.

[@MiteraMade]

Thank you so much, I never thought that far ahead as to how it affects the stone! 🙌🏼🙏🏻💜

[@AlchemyWithSoul]

Omg the grinding joke with the meme 😂❤ I also don't do alot of grinding 🤣

[@MiteraMade]

I had to 😂

[@AlchemyWithSoul]

@@MiteraMade cracked me up haha! Love your humour girl 🤣

[@mariiathehedgehog]

I’m using self made punches for repousse technique and repousse hammer and time after time ribetting hammer which is more lighter.

[@mikemike9881]

Hart burrs, saw burr and some sort of marking tool. A gauge makes a great measuring tool and marker. Last but not least a bunch of setting blanks

[@MiteraMade]

I have never used a hart bur before! I’ll have to give them a shot thank you!! And YESSSSS how could I forget some dividers or calipers! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@michaelahorn8716]

thank you so much for this video! I have one question left which is for what and how you should use the beading tool? And can I modify those as well to use as a pusher for flush settings?

[@MiteraMade]

Yes, you can modify a beading tool to be a pusher for flush settings 💜 I do use the beading tools a lot in my videos (and grain setting) and I think I put a clip of it in this one, but but pretty much when you raise a grain with your graver, you take the beading tool and put it on top of the grain and roll your wrist in a circular motion and it creates a ball so that the grains don’t snag on your clothes and so they go over the stone securing it 💜💜

[@truthbtold8697]

Do you ever do invisible setting?

[@MiteraMade]

Is that real 👀👻🙈 is this the same as the premium air thing in your tires? 😂💜

[@truthbtold8697]

​@MiteraMade 😂😂😂 yeah it's real...I just haven't seen a video of you doing it and I was wondering what tools you used

[@DonariaRegia]

@@MiteraMade Invisible setting requires specially cut stones with a recess (notch) in the pavilion. It's something you'll see in high end Swiss work with baguette stones.

[@asimrao7727]

Good

[@RaulSanchez-cu3is]
