Advanced Series - Part 1

"A lot of people ask me how to formulate and make prong frame settings for both cut stones as well as cabochons. If you learn how to make this frame for a cut stone, then working it for a cab is a piece of cake! I will show you how to choose and mix wire gauges to really celebrate the stone, as well as how to figure how many wires you need and how to shape the frame. With the skills you have learned in the Intermediate series, these prongs are actually easy to make."

"And as many of you have heard me say, What better way to wear and sell your work, than on your work?! The Elegant Collar project works with more substantial wires, teaches how to shape on a neck mandrel as you wrap, and includes an incorporated hook and eye that finishes perfectly."
