    Question Tube set trilogy

    Hi, I have managed tube setting a single stone but would like to have a try at a trilogy, my question is how do you push over rim of silver once the three are soldered together? I can't see how you can keep them clear of each other to enable you to get a tool in.

    I'd use a saw or a scorper to separate them so that the edges can go opposite directions.
    For really small stuff I might be tempted to use a prong splitter...

    Sorry Peter do you mean to separate as you solder or to separate after soldering?

    Solder them together, then split. Even a 3 square file might work. Depends on the situation

    Can you not drill out the material between the stones & rubover the perimeter?
