Ooh thanks Sarah I'll have a search.
That's interesting and not quite what I was expecting. I actually forgot that I have made one claw setting for a cab (jump ring & wire cross construction) and the trouble I had with those (I broke a pair of pliers trying to get the claws to bend) convinced me that claws were clearly too advanced!
i'll have a look at some premade settings too - like you I'm largely driven by making what I like, but I would like some all round skills, for example at some point I'm making 60th birthday earrings for my best friends mom, and while she doesn't like to say, I think she'd like faceted stones in claw settings... in gold - so there's 3 things to learn!
