They come in various sizes and shapes so you can be sure to find the perfect setting to let your jewellery sparkle. As well as help you to create the 4-Claw Pendant in this project<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In addition to the above listed materials in the kit list, you will also need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Polishing Materials<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Thin the Prongs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hold the pendant setting securely on the peg. Re-establish the seat in the setting and file back the inside of the prongs by about 0.5\u20131mm using a stone setting burr. Thinning the prongs this way allows a firmer and easier set of the stone. Take care not to thin the metal too much. You can also adjust the height of the prongs at this stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/tblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Project-Stone-Setting-Stone-setting-4-claw-pendant-by-Zoe-Davidson-3-copy-276x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15323\" width=\"276\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Project-Stone-Setting-Stone-setting-4-claw-pendant-by-Zoe-Davidson-3-copy-276x300.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Project-Stone-Setting-Stone-setting-4-claw-pendant-by-Zoe-Davidson-3-copy-941x1024.jpg 941w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Project-Stone-Setting-Stone-setting-4-claw-pendant-by-Zoe-Davidson-3-copy-768x836.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Project-Stone-Setting-Stone-setting-4-claw-pendant-by-Zoe-Davidson-3-copy.jpg 1198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> File the Prongs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a flat needle file, file the top of the prongs to an angle of about 45 degrees.
