Thank You so much, thus eas so informative❗ You gave me so many Ah Ha moments on how to use the tools and what I've been doing wrong❣️ Greatly appreciate your knowledge and teaching through this video❣️
Great instructor and instructions!! Smooth calm voice easy to understand! And some fantastic videography that we can really get in there and see what he’s doing! Thank you! 👌👍
Great video, Scott! I've never seen a hammer handpiece in use before, so that was really nice to see. Could you do another video on how to set those taller cabs, though? The very idea of using glue is anathema to me, but I don't really know how to secure the stone with a bezel when the sides are taller than the bezel.
You don't have to use the hammer piece. You can achieve the same result by using a nail that you've flattened and polished and a hammer. You can also buy a stone setting system from Rio Grande. They come in different sizes and prices.
Thanks for explaining it. Question, what kind of tubing is it? Is it regular sterling tubing? Or is it the thick kind, or is it special tubing for bezel making only? Thanks again
I like a nice thick bezel and make my own tube settings using 0.5-1.0 mm Sterling. I’ve never yet had to file the edge of the settings to make setting easier. I use a hammer and setting punch.
I use a fine silver bezel like I would for a cabochon. Then I solder a ring of sterling inside the bezel to seat the faceted stone. Fine silver is a lot easier to push. No visable difference in the finished product.
You can also use a brass punch (make them yourself with tool brass rods) and hammer to push a heavy bezel like that. The trick is to tap it towards you (so the stone is between you and the punch- which makes the work easier to see). A hammer hand piece is awesome, but not 100% necessary (in case you’re like me and prefer to work with simple, inexpensive tools)
Hi Joyce, Thanks for watching! The other commenter, Jeri, is correct. Scott is using a hammer handpiece. You can see them here ow.ly/o83x30msAeT Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can help to answer for you! 😀
Hello, I hope you can help! How do you do rubover set a single round stone on signet rings? Should I use a flat top with straight edge stone and just glue it? Or a flat top with single bevel stone? If using a FTSB stone that is 1.5mm in height, do i need the bevel to be a bit higher than the stone? And what would the thickness of the bezel should be? Many thanks in advance!
We appreciate the question. Our technical team is not 100% certain of what you are requesting, but they recommend watching the attached video at 3:23 to learn how to flush set in a signet ring. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MllFfsZqX40.html

How dare you tell people to GLUE stones into setting - that isn't how real jewellery makers set stones - they use the metal to set the stone NOT glue! Phil
This is one of if not the very best explanation and demo for setting a stone or cab in a tube setting. Thanks sooo much and I hope you do many more very detailed demos such as this one. I just LOVE Rio!! 👩🏼🎨🌵🔨
