That's very nice - sort of thing Jason makes I think

That's great

I've only tried one tension setting and it was not a success!

And I have to ask - Ikea pebbles?

George~ i can't remember but it is a great possibility!! i have been known to spend a bit in ikea!!

Christine~ can't really think of any specific tips, except get someone to help you when forcing the ring open to fit stone tightly as it's hard work on your own!!!! you don't seem to have enough hands LOL

there is a pic of another one in my other album.

Lovely! I've never tried this setting either. Is it difficult to do?

Gorgeous ring, as is the amethyst one in your other album! I love tension settings, they're on my list of things to master!

I thought the section in Jinks McGrath's rings book was excellent, it was just me that was rubbish. I have a feeling I may have been running before I could walk though!

Oh thats a lovely ring really classy!

i haven't seen Jinks book, i did my first tension set ( the amethyst one) at evening class, and just used trial and error on my husbands ring,they could be alot tidier but i don't think they're too bad considering!!! lol. my son wants one now so i've got get my confidence up again for another go!!
