In this video I show you step-by-step how to add a basket setting (prong setting) for faceted gemstone to a ring and then set the stone.
Supplies You’ll Need:
Chain nose pliers
Wire cutters
1.5mm ball bur (to cut the prongs) and 6.0mm ball bur (to open the seat)
4.0mm hart bur (if you don't want to use the 1.5mm ball bur)
Cup bur (1.6mm - I used 14g wire to make my basket) - find the one that fits your wire the best
Prong setting pliers (if you have one)
Prong pusher
Torch
Solder (medium)
Solder Pick
Flex Shaft
Sandpaper (320, 400, 600)
Files
Polishing wheels (silicon or mops)
Quench Water
Pickle
Let me know if you have any questions.
