Prong Setting Faceted Stones

The setting you see on almost every engagement ring, done by hand.

Three hours on faceted stone setting alone. You'll set two stones, one in a six-prong basket and one in a classic four-prong Tiffany-style head, and learn why a stone sits level or doesn't.

What you'll learn

  • Faceted stone anatomy, in plain language
  • Getting stone height and placement right
  • Judging whether a stone is actually level
  • Using setting burs, hart burs, and cup burs
  • Cutting seats for faceted stones
  • Setting in a six-prong basket and a four-prong Tiffany head
  • Tightening prongs and finishing them cleanly

What you'll make One six-prong basket setting and one four-prong Tiffany setting, each with a 6mm round cubic zirconia.

Do I need experience? No. This one's built for beginners.

What's provided Two brass practice mountings, two 6mm cubic zirconias, and every tool you need including flex shaft, burs, pliers, and magnification.

Worth knowing This class covers setting only. If you want to build the setting itself, pair it with Basket Head Pendant.
