How to flush set diamonds and other hard stones. This video shows you how to make a burnisher, how to flush set a small diamond and the science that makes it work.
Finally! a detailed explanation with graphics and science. Most videos fly through the process, clearly for "show" but no"tell". Really appreciate your advice and techniques.
Thank you so much! I think yours is the only video on the internet explaining exactly the technique without any machines for burnishing. Couldn't be better done thanks again :)
Thank you so much, Joel! I appreciate you taking the extra time to make those computer drawings to illustrate the science behind this ... I know when I know the "why" behind the "how," I can make much better informed decisions and can execute things much better. Thanks again!
Excellent video.. understanding how the burnisher sits between the stone and edge and the resultant movement of the metal made all the difference! Thank you so much!
I've been wanting to do this do flush settings for a lonnngggg time. Best video I've watched on this subject. I finally get it" as a result of your diagram. Thanks soooooo much!
This was great!! I’ve been wanting to add flush set stones to my work and have been watching several videos to see how various jewelers produce the same setting. The computer and science aspect was extremely helpful in understanding why the metal moves the way it does to art the stone. Understanding the process that is taking place with the material helps me a great deal. Thank you again. New subscriber.
Really great ... You should put a few drops of lube (water will work) on the sharpening plate ...diamond suffers badly ,when on steel ,especially herded ,or tool steel,however you are very correct in your process and thought ... You can even set the stone by hand useing just the burnisher ,no flex shaft needed ... Really great info you gave ,and thank you for your efforts and thoughts ...have a wonderful day ...
Excellent video! Thank you! But what if the stone is softer than a diamond? I’m assuming the burnished will scratch it, so how do I avoid this problem?
I’m a beginning learner in stone setting and I was just curious as to why the stone doesn’t get damaged when applying pressure... with all the sharp edge cuts, I would assume there would be some form of scratches or possible chipping that might happen to the stone when setting and burnishing? Thank you!
Great question. This tech is primarly used for diamonds and saphires that are harder then steal, Check out my fork tyne video for more descriptions. czcams.com/video/tdKIsjHxYvs/video.html
I went to the hardware store and told him I was looking for a diamond lapse - what you mentioned in the video Dash their response was they didn’t know what I was talking about. I talked to six different people at Home Depot and got nowhere. Then I looked on Amazon and was a little confused as to exactly what I needed to get. If you could give me some ideas on how to narrow down what to get on Amazon I would greatly appreciate it.
Catherine Franz I’d suggest searching for ‘diamond lap’ in the category ‘DIY & Tools’ on Amazon. (I think he’s referring to ‘laps’ (plural) rather than ‘lapse’).
I am really struggling. I have been trying to flush set CZ stones in brass. I CAN NOT get the metal to burnish and secure the stone. What am I doing wrong? I really need help.

The first video that ever really explained how this works. Thank you!

Wow, thanks!
Finally, I can see how burnishing secures the stone. Thank you.

explained it so well…thanks for removing the mystery and guesswork
Great video! The animated photos really help with knowing what we are actually trying to do and the importance of it!
This is extremely helpful!! Thank you for sharing, I can’t wait to start setting stones.

Thank you so much for this demo, this has been a mystery for me for a LONG time…

thank you for the feedback.
Very good explanation. Finally somebody explains it using human language. Thanks
Thanks Joel for taking your time to show us this!
Ottima spiegazione. Saluti dall'Italia
Yes! Makes sense! So simple but damn if I understood the simple science until this video! Great! Thank you!
Thanks Kat
great video by a very knowledgeable guy
Beats the ways Ive been taught to do it. I'll try it tomorrow
Such a great video. I just subscribed and will watch every one you have. Thanks!
Nice demo and explanation! Thanks!
Thank you for this video, it answers a lot of questions......awesome video!
I loved your burnisher shaping tips. I’ll give it a try.
best of luck. Be patient you will do great
Nice demo! Thanks a lot. Seems so easy. I was taught to use a ball burr. Never quite sure how deep to go.
Now I understand! Many thanks.
Wow you make some lovely jewellery 👋🙂
Really great ...

So much easier than using files! Great idea!
Very interesting! Thank you! But I was always thinking that setting stones this way it is very easy to scratch them 😮
You have to learn the Mohs scale and know your tools
Thankyou great video very informative 😁
Very useful thank you!
Thanks for sharing excellent video
thank you very much, it helped a lot!!!!!
This is so helpful! Could you use the same method for flush setting a square or rectangular stone?
Great video, Cheers! Any tips on how I might do this style of setting on the inside of a customers ring???
Thank you!
You explain things like a GIA instructor A1
Now it all makes sense!!!
Great advice. I have done a few but am not very good at it.
keep praticing I was terrible at first.
Excellent video! Thank you!
But what if the stone is softer than a diamond? I’m assuming the burnished will scratch it, so how do I avoid this problem?
ur hand and eye has to be perfect
Thanks for the diagram
ty
This works good when you have a bur that is the same size as the gem stone or the gem will wobble when you burnish.
Excellent, I needed to see how the metal moves. The tool is vertical, but which direction are you pressing? Straight down? Or at an angle?
You push down and out. Not to hard. Think of smearing the metal in a circle
@@JMDjewelry Thank you! I had been afraid to try this technique, but now I understand how it works and can get past that.

it does help though
Could you use this technique with a larger, say 7mm, stone if you allowed the table and a significant portion of the crown to sit proud of the metal?
Yes I have used it with much larger stones
I am really struggling. I have been trying to flush set CZ stones in brass. I CAN NOT get the metal to burnish and secure the stone. What am I doing wrong? I really need help.
try copper. The brass may be to hard especially if it is hardened for plumbing
@@JMDjewelry
I’ll try that, thank you
Joel - Please dont show people to use a seperating disk with no safety glasses. We have all had them hit us in the face when they shatter.
