Stonesetting: Flush Setting 3 Ways - Part 2

In this video, I discuss creating a flush/rub-over setting using a setting bur. I cover how to burnish your setting, how to know when your stone it deep enough, and what burs to use. I also discuss troubleshooting and the use and care of the different burs used with this type of setting. This video is also the setup for Flush Setting 3 ways - Part 3, which covers flush/rub-over settings with the hart & ball burs. Please see Part 1 first as a lot of the basics like layout, measuring your stones, metal thickness, uses, etc. are covered.

Super informative Nancy. Clear, precise and encouraging. Thank you ✅

[@cindyclaricekeeling6375]

Your video truly helps. Thanks

[@catzkeet4860]

Thank you for this. Of all the settings I’ve done, flush setting was always my Waterloo. I had SO much trouble with it, and it was so frustrating with everyone and their poodle saying how “easy” it was to do. I finally managed to get a stone set and realised that my issue was sizing of my holes. All the info on sizing is very helpful cos I STILL have some issues at times

You guys are great. I've watched half of your videos so far and liked them. I do not know english. I am doing this text with google translator. I hope I don't get it wrong. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. bless your right. Right now, after my family, you are the person I love the most in the world. don't let your hands worry. stay with love and respect. May God give you a long and healthy life.

Good guide!!!

[@adiem1653]

Great videos cheers Nancy I am looking at adding some 1.5mm diamonds to a 1.1mm thickness gold ring i made (making it for the first time) I had a 3mm diamond but it is too deep and sticks out the bottom if the band. Therefore decided on the 1.5mm's as they wont protrude! I drilled a 1.0mm hole in some scrap silver the same thickness as the gold ring and used a 1.5mm setting burr as a test - I can gardly see it. How can i possibly flush set the diamonds as the burnisher is as wide as the hole near enough?

Excellent work, we subscribe your channel

[@daniellepadgham5165]

Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Maybe the text could be left on a little longer in future😍

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

I will do that! Thanks.

[@JustME-ft4di]

Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. So is it just the tiny metal lip that is holding the stone in place? I have some lively lapis stones that are cylindrical in shape. Flat top and bottom. I would like to put them in a bezel so they sit flush with the top of it. Any idea of the best way to go? I am tempted to cheat and use glue.

[@GoldenRamMtlmstr]

It doesn't matter if you keep a ball bur perpendicular does it?

[@maryjanebutler2180]

Do u have to drill hole to flush setting stone.
