Step-by-Step Flush Setting a Round Faceted Stone

In this video I show you step-by-step how to flush set a round, faceted gemstone.

Supplies You’ll Need: 1.2 mm drill 2.2 mm ball bur 3.0 mm ball bur 3.0 mm hart bur 3.0 mm round cubic zirconia or other stone 4.0 to 5.0 mm thick metal

I recommend practicing with brass because it has properties similar to setting in gold. Or, like me, you can use sterling silver to practice your setting. Another recommendation, if you don’t have metal thick enough to do this tutorial, sweat solder a few pieces together to get the appropriate thickness. In this video, I used sweat soldered metal instead of pouring a thicker ingot for the demonstration.
