Setting Stones in Jewelry
by Dale Armstrong
Question:

I bought a `box of rocks` of various cuts and sizes. Where can I find settings and/videos to set the stones in jewelry? I ordered a video a year ago with about simple ring making, I didn`t get what I ordered...still have the loose stones. Help!
Instructions
Answer:

Rocks? Sounds more like you have a variety of finished stones that may include both cabochons and faceted stones. If you are looking for ready-made, cast settings, you could do an Internet search for companies who carry such things. If you are looking for small snap settings, on the WireJewelry website, look under findings and then under snap sets. If you would like to make your own settings, I would recommend viewing our selection of DVDs and also my book, 'Wirework' found under CDs & E-books, then under Jewelry-making & repair books. Have fun! I love boxes like that!!
