Thanks for the quick replies, I really need to get ahold of some flat cutting cutters soon though.
When you say pierce wire....what do you mean by that ? Sorry if that seems a dense question but...

I am currently making and remaking and remaking !! a set of 7 stone cluster rings.
One thing that gets my goat, is when I snip the silver wire, to make the prongs and keep getting an...

I am still only using Silver at the moment...and to be honest, I'd want to practise it quite a bit before I attempt it in Gold anyway...Just one other thing, the "Fob Stones" that go in the middle,...

Hello,
I am thinking about trying to make one of these watch fobs...I am wondering if I were to make a basic ring, then resin a Bloodstone and an Onyx either side of the ring, then use a...
I looked it up on Amazon...It looks pretty good. From what it says, it is suitable for people like me who have only got the basics covered. Thank you
Thank you both...The reason I was asking about the variable speed buffer, is because my 14 year old son is taking a real interest and call me over protective, but I was taught on a buffing machine...

Hello,
As I am starting to get into gemstone settings more and more, I am wondering if there is a recommended gemstone book that I can buy ? I'd like to get one that explains the finer details...
This is getting tit for tat.
Just to clarify one thing, I copy and pasted this from my above reply :
"Perhaps, instead of keep trying to answer every post I put on the forum with the same...
I did read the previous replies. I would have thought it was obvious that I am at best finding the levelling proccess difficult to get on top of.

Sorry to repeat a question...Maybe I have not asked it clearly : I am just starting to set stones, I am trying the gypsy setting, where I have to drill the depth of the entire stone (Table...
