Introduction to Stone Setting for Jewelry

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that my lessons and advice will help you when making your own jewelry. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we saw in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project: Define which pieces you are going to create Choose the stones you want to work with and think about your collection. What piece of jewelry will you make with each one? Remember to choose suitable stones for this type of setting, as I pointed out in unit 2.

Arm the work area Gather the necessary materials and tools and arrange your work area so that it is comfortable for you to work and you have everything at hand, as we saw in unit 3. Start practicing Do some metal folding and welding exercises to loosen up your hand and understand how welding works. It is important to "feel" it and observe well to later understand how it works. The bevel Make the bezels for your pieces, and all the parts you will need, such as rings, hooks, etc. Solder all the pieces until you get the skeleton of each jewel. The setting Make the settings of each piece, on both sides. Make sure it is well set and that the stone is not loose. Sanding and finishes Perform the sanding and polishing finishes on your pieces, giving them the finish that you like the most. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you in the forum! ”
