I would like to begin doing some simple stone setting and need
advice on the basic tools I need to get started. I have a bezel
pusher, bezel mandrel and a burnisher, but that’s it. What size burrs
are used most often? What tools do I need for prong setting? Any
other basics I should invest in right now? Any advice appreciated.
I highly recumbent John Cogswell’s Book “Creative Stonesetting”. You
can purchase it on Amazon.com.
Everything you need can be found in this book.
All the best,
Betsy
I have a copy of that book, and it’s a nice book, but I found :-
“The Diamond Setting Manual of Procedures & Techniques” by Robert R Wooding
To be more useful for me.
