Hi all
I am trying to learn about settings and have managed to make a few bezels from scratch and the more I learn I realise the more there is to know! I'm going to try most of the obvious settings out but there are a couple I am puzzled about. I wondered if anyone can explain how to set a cab or a crystal tip with a siver band going across it like a belt? (see picture of amber below) I can't fathom how it is done as surely it needs to have a really snug fit or it would drop out? is cement used? and what about a crystal tip as a drop? (see other picture below) Does the stone have to be cut in a certain way or is there another technique involved? I enclose a couple of photos as examples. I have tried to search for tutorials but I don't even know the correct name of the settings and other keyword type searches have provided unfruitful. Thanks for any help!
