Learn how to order a gemsetting video that shows exactly how to place your gemstone, set the pliers and tighten the prongs for your ring with bling.
Tripp's Mfg has a fantastic video available that illustrates exactly how to use gemsetting pliers I referenced in my ring making articles.
In my series of articles on how to make a ring with bling I gave instructions via the written word but sometimes it is just easier to follow along while watching someone.
This video shows how to set numerous shapes and sizes of gemstones and also gives a brief tutorial in how to inspect gemstones. And in addition to the basic instructions I gave on how to set one large facted gemstone this video also shows how to set cabochons (flat domed gemstones) and gem clusters.
I've ordered from Tripp's in the past and have always been satisfied with my purchase. Check out their website - this video is available for $19.95 plus shipping and handling.
