Many of you have asked how to set small gemstones, and in this video, I’ll walk you through my personal process, sharing expert tips to make it easier! While medium-sized stones are the most straightforward to set, working with tiny gems presents unique challenges—often requiring precision and special techniques.
I’ll demonstrate how I create bezels using fine silver, shape them to fit the stones perfectly, and solder them securely in place. You’ll also learn why small stones can sometimes be more expensive than larger ones and how to ensure your bezels are properly fitted for a professional finish.
This technique is perfect for rings, bracelets, and other delicate jewelry pieces, and I’ll be showcasing a bracelet project inside my Unfolding membership. If you want to take your stone-setting skills to the next level, join me inside!
Watch along for detailed steps, handy tool recommendations (including my favorite Japanese pruning shears!), and troubleshooting tips to ensure your tiny gemstone settings turn out beautifully. Let’s create stunning, intricate jewelry together!
