Dear all,

I am really new to jewellery making and would really appreciate if you could share your experience and knowledge on setting gemstone slices, especially those ones in rings.

I have some irregular shaped tourmaline slices which I would absolutely love to turn into rings/ earrings and I particularly like the type of open back bezel setting which just seems to frame the stone. I have been researching books and internet but I really struggle to find a tutorial or just any advice on how to achieve this effect.

I would really really appreciate any advice, thank you!

Here is an image for the reference of what I used as inspiration.
