In this video I'm setting an oval CZ in a 1mm thick sterling silver bezel using ball burs to cut the seat. Be warned - it's not as easy as it looks! But once you've got to grips with basic tube setting, this is a great (if not slightly more stressful) next step!
BTW - the bezel is superglued to a wooden base which is held in my GRS Tools Micro Ball Vice. To get the setting off the wood, I'll just give it a soak in acetone or squeeze the wood in a vice so the setting pops right off.

@Annie59G 3 жыл бұрын

Nice job! A bright cut inside the bezel next to the stone gives a nice finishing touch on top of removing the excess metal covering (and hiding) the stone. Which is a common problem in stones set by people who mostly learn by themselves.

@jenbottoms8625 Жыл бұрын

Now it's made how do you get it soldered to another piece without damaging the stone? Thanks I loved the video it helped me out very much.

@johnmimist 3 жыл бұрын

Oh but Lucy, how were you measuring how low to go on the outer scribe? I had an emerald, and tried to scribe the inner bezel and damn it all, it left a scratch on the stone. Was my burnisher too small and pointy, because it for sure was smoother and polished. If I go bigger, I get flashing. I am trying to learn a bright cut, and I am signed up and took many classes. Hope to enjoy many more,

@asterism.x Жыл бұрын

I just got an emerald ring and it’s bezel set but the back of the stone is completely covered by the metal (gold). This seems odd to me as all my other gemstone rings have at least a small opening behind the stone. I think it’s better with an open back because more light can shine through the stone. I’m wondering if this is something a jeweler could fix by removing the stone from the bezel setting, cutting a hole in the back of the setting and re-setting the stone. Or would it be too risky & damage the ring too much to attempt this? Great video! I think i’m going to try some jewelry making classes someday.

Hello, I hope you can help! How do you do rubover set a single round stone on signet rings? Should I use a flat top with straight edge stone and just glue it? Or a flat top with single bevel stone? If using a FTSB stone that is 1.5mm in height, do i need the bevel to be a bit higher than the stone? And what would the thickness of the bezel should be? Many thanks in advance!

Great presentation! But it would be helpful if you added text or verbalized what was taking place. For instance, what’s holding the setting in place? What tools are being used? Walking the novice through each step. Things like that. I guess you could say.... look at it from the perspective of the newbie and create your content with that mind. Thanks!

Debbie, I would think the question is obsolete as you wouldn't set the stone before soldering the bezel to your jewelry piece. I was about to ask the same then it struck me that she has it mounted to the wood for teaching purposes only. I'm only guessing as I'm a beginner.
