I can't believe it... I DID IT!! 👍😄 My post earrings aren't perfect but I did not have to do it twice and I didn't melt anything. Lol! Thank you so much for such thorough instructions. Now that I have made one pair, I can only get better from here. This was the best tutorial for prong settings EVER! 👍 If you were rated on stars instead of thumbs up, I'd give you five stars all the way! 😊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brilliantly done. What a great demo. Good clear video shows every step and a few pitfalls to avoid. Nice relaxing commentary unhurried and reassuring tone. Mastering this will easily lift your potential to a higher level. Many thanks.
Very helpful. I’m making my daughter ruby studs for Christmas and that’s exactly what kind of setting I need to make. It’s simple and straightforward and I will be done with them faster than I cut the ruby. Thank you for the instructional video. 🙏
It was an awesome tutorial for sure! I'm right behind you... I have 4 piercings in each ear (IF none have closed on me) and it's cheaper to make sterling earrings than to buy them. It's also very rewarding to get compliments on jewelry that one make for themselves. 😊
This is a brilliant video tutorial! 👍 I have 18ga/1mm and 20ga/0.9mm sterling silver round wire on hand as well as some 8mm round CZs. I'd imagine the measurements you used would still work for me since your stone and my stone are so close in size, right? I can't wait to try this tomorrow. Thanks!!! 🙂
Wonderful vid. Seriois question: I am quite literally in the process of making these for a .36 carat diamonds, matching set, using reclaimed white gold. Why 60 degrees and not 90? Is this an aesthetic thing, two prongs a wee bit to one side? Wouldn't the diamonds be better secured by direct opposite mounting that 90 degrees would create? Thanks and happy holidays.

This is such an EXCELLENT tutorial! 👍 Due to unforseen circumstances I never was able to try this last year but now I'm ready. ❓❓❓ QUESTION... you put the notch in the post beautifully using the saw and cutters. I saw another tutorial that simply squeezed a notch onto the post using the small end of round nose pliers. For someone who's never done this before would you recommend the notch be done with pliers OR would you recommend practicing on some scrap wire and then cut the notch into the earring post (it would be disheartening to accidentally cut through it)? Or... maybe it's a personal preference? ❓ THANKS!! 😀
Hi, great video. Really appreciate the content you share, I intend to subscribe. One question please: although not used in this build, what is the name of the file I have seen you use with flat smooth sides and half round profile for cutting the groove for prongs. Slot file? I cant find it anywhere. Thank you.
Can you please give insight on why the measurement of 4.5mm was chosen @9:11 for this 7mm stone? Is that to provide adequate amount of room for the stone and the 1mm thick prongs or is there some other calculation?
Thanks for the video. Going to an interview tomorrow for a bench jeweler/ sales position and I’m trying to at least learn a little bit about the job and how it’s done before I go in there.
Excellent tutorial! 👍 This will be my next challenge as a novice jeweler. I don't have a tumbler yet so do you happen to have any tips for cleaning up and polishing the setting without a tumbler? Thank you very much! 🙂
If you don't have a polishing motor, or a flex shaft, you could use a Dremel. Pretty much any model will work - they make several for various kinds of crafting and are cheaper than the other tools I mentioned. You may even find a really good deal for a second hand one on ebay. You can use felt and cotton buffs in them with polishing compounds such as "tripoli" or "red rouge". There are many videos on youtube that explain the process, but in a nutshell, you want to be constantly removing rough scratch marks made by previous tools, by using finer and finer abrasives, until the scratch marks are microscopic. You follow that path until you create a mirror finish on the metal.
What is the ratio for the jump ring for a larger or smaller diamond? You earlier mentioned the jump ring should be 1.5 mm less than the stone. In the portion of the video that you mark 4mm to set the ring, what would you put it at for a different stone size?
Thank you for such a detailed tutorial, cannot wait to try making my own pair of claw stud earrings:) If I want to make sharp claws should I sharpen them before or after bending onto the stone? How to understand what length I need to hold the stone in this case?
Shouldn't you finish off the prongs WITHOUT a stone in the setting? And after the setting is done you put in the stone? Or are those like placeholder stones to get the right sizing?
No you have to learn how to work around set stones, since a lot of the time, you're going to have to scratch the prongs/etc in order to do the setting. In fact, with some settings the recommended way is to file the prongs down by hand while avoiding the stone. Very meticulous and frightening work, especially with soft stones. Fortunately, diamonds are very hard, but you still don't want to run your file along them. There are files designed with teeth on only one side to facilitate this. I had to learn this the hard way after making my first setting.
Easiest stone setting ive seen and it is cleaner than other setters. There are stone setters out there who has so many steps LOL stupid cocky setters 😂
This is the easiest approach to the setting that I've ever seen! Thank you!

Magnifique vidéo, merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel. Petite question, l'épaisseur du fil est bien de 1 millimètre ?
Merci ;)

Great explanation! I just got one question, If to use a stone from 3mm or less, should I use the same 1mm wire?
fantastic master.
Awe inspiring….thank you 😃

Muy bien ! No hablo inglés y se hace muy facil!
Молодец, спасибо за видео 👍 покажи как делаешь замок для таких серёжек, пусет.
What is the hand drill your using?
Hi, great video. Really appreciate the content you share, I intend to subscribe.

I cant find it anywhere. Thank you.
I think you're talking about a "ring file"
Can you please give insight on why the measurement of 4.5mm was chosen @9:11 for this 7mm stone? Is that to provide adequate amount of room for the stone and the 1mm thick prongs or is there some other calculation?
Do you change the angle degree on the protractor based on the size of the stone?
Yes if you want it to be set at a different height
Thanks for the video. Going to an interview tomorrow for a bench jeweler/ sales position and I’m trying to at least learn a little bit about the job and how it’s done before I go in there.
did you get it
Lindíssimos parabéns. 🇧🇷

Make the jumpring 20% smaller than the stone. Stick with 4mm for smaller stones, larger stones will need slightly longer claws for stone setting.
Великолепное видео! Без музыки и ненужных звуков! Спасибо 🤗
Very nice making
Amazing
So what do you do about the clip marks at the top of the prong?
CosmicChannel9 prong tips are finished off with a cup bur and a shofu greenie
Super !!!!!
Qual é o nome dessa frasa que você usou no acabamento final da pedra? Por favor
Very good👏👏
Why did you mark 4.5 mil from the center for the jump ring?
Thank you for such a detailed tutorial, cannot wait to try making my own pair of claw stud earrings:) If I want to make sharp claws should I sharpen them before or after bending onto the stone? How to understand what length I need to hold the stone in this case?
Lila Daemmerung do that kind of finishing once all the soldering is finished

@@Ty-ri7dy thank you, very interesting and yes as you put it "meticulous and frightening work" to say the least 😁😁😁
Nice video
Merci beaucoup 😊😊
Why do you make the claws at 60 degrees and not 90 in the beginning? (Newbie here)
Have you done a video for a square Princess cut stone?
Not princess cut earrings but lots of rings on the website
Owe some 👍

Can you give us the names to all the KIT that are there, unclude that wood thing please and where to buy it . Thank you
