Hi all,
only been on the forum a few days and I'm asking questions everywhere! my question is however, what are the different kinds of stone settings? I have already learnt to do bezel, tube and claw settings and I have recently researched flush or gipsy settings but have yet to try it. I just wanted to know the different names of the other stone settings so I can then research them as I'm confused as some seem to have 2 names such as flush/gipsy.

On a similar note, when I have researched flush settings all the videos I have watched the jeweller uses a tool they have made to set the stone, which looks like a fatter bead awl or something similar. Is there anywhere I can buy a tool like this or if not a way to make one which doesn't involve a bench grinder as my 'workshop' is my living room

Any help gratefully received

Thanks
