I've been following Oppi Untracht's book on bevelled/gypsy setting.

On my practice ring I've made the holes for 3 2mm round faceted stones to sit, they all sit just right.

The next step is to file away the metal around the edge of the bevel to reduce the thickness and leave a raised edge to push over onto the stone.

Any idea how much metal should be removed? I've not used a bur yet but I think I will as it will probably be easier than trying to file! I've also got some CZ's on the way to practice the setting.
