You might have a hard time working with round wire since it's not flat on the stone side. So, I can't recommend it. But you can try though if you have half hard round wire. Also, I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking if you file the round wire flat on the stone side, it might work.

@juliew1426 3 жыл бұрын

I also wanted to point out, when you have made a few more prong settings, you might find it easier to file the prongs before setting the stone. Or perhaps you can have the stone in place, but w/ the prongs slightly lifted, allowing the space to file your prongs. You will also find different ways and directions of filing, and will find your favorite, which may not always be the easiest. OK, that's all of my comments. Sorry for being such a chatterbox.

@MithrilArtsandJewelry 3 жыл бұрын

I've tried that as well but the problem is it's hard to set the prongs because the wire is tough. I've even shattered a stone because of it. As I pointed out in the video, half hard wire is harder to bend when it's short that's why you need an excess amount of wire to be able to bend it to the shape that u want it to follow.

@MithrilArtsandJewelry 3 жыл бұрын

Also, there are special tools for what you're saying. It's like a prong pusher or something and you need a ring clamp that's set on the table to use it because you'll need a lot of force to push the prongs in. This method that I'm using is what's readily available for me and it works perfectly at the moment. In the future, I'd love to get more tools to improve my work and to be able to create new things :)

@juliew1426 3 жыл бұрын

I love jewelry tools!) and only invest in high end when you are sure you will use them a lot. I get attached to certain tools, too. Please, I was only saying that, for prong setting, you will probably explore different things...if that is a favorite technique and look.

Thank you! Yes that's true. Although with me, I haven't had any issues with them as rings when they've already been set.
