Setting stones in jewelry: Placing a bezel on a pendant With our step-by-step guide you will have no problem knowing how to set a stone in a ring, choker or any other piece of jewelry. These are the tools you will need for stone setting: Texturing hammer, wide stripes. Half round file and handle. That plan. Sandpaper. Flat sanding stick, medium. Compass. 6″ steel rule. 3″ adjustable saw bow. 3/0 saw blades. Solder block. Hand torch. Stripping powder. Borax bar and borax tray. Flux brush.
Stainless steel shears and tweezers. On the continent. Square nose punch. Burnisher. Materials: Lámina de plata 1mm (15mm x 40mm and 12mm x 50mm). Tira de plata fina 20mm of 3mm x 3mm. Solder strip. 3mm round moonstone cabochon. Sterling silver snake chain. STEP 1: Take the 12mm x 50mm silver sheet, texturing hammer and flat tas. Place the silver foil on the flat surface, and hold one edge of the foil. Using the texturing hammer, tap the sheet several times in one direction, flip the silver sheet over, and repeat on the opposite side. STEP 2: Using the half-round file, use the flat edge and file the edges straight. Next, using the flat sanding stick, polish the edges to make them smoother. STEP 3: Take the compass, measure 42mm on a steel ruler and draw a line with that width on the textured sheet. Saw along that line. The textured sheet will get harder as you work with it, so it is ready for annealing, quenching, and pickling. When creating a curve, push the edge of the non-textured part to the desired curvature. If you have a round chuck it will be perfect for this. STEP 4: Place the curved edge against a 15mm x 40mm piece, which is approximately the same length. Now take a sheet of coarse sandpaper and run it around the edges until it is flat, place it on the largest sheet. STEP 5: Using the Borax stick and borax tray, make flux and with the flux brush spread it on the blade and the newly polished edge. Next, place the curved part of the leaf on one of the parts of the silver foil.
