Hi everyone,
I was recently gifted 6cts of natural rubies (varying size and shapes) but i have decided i would really like to make a extravagant art deco style necklace with rubies and zirconia in sterling silver.
Im using a ball chain, I need to think of a type of setting i can use to set the stones and solder on to the ball chain. I believe wraptite settings wont do well with heat as they look quite thin and easily meltable.
So i have 2 options really that i can see, being bezel/rubover setting (which i have not tried before) and using standard double gallery settings and soldering them to the ball chain before adding the stone.
Can anyone help me with ideas how i can do this at the lowest cost possible? I have attached a photo of the sort of thing i mean (where i want to position my stones) thank you.
