Stonesetting: Basic Setting

Basic Setting

Joel McFadden

Thursday April 24th & Sunday April 27th

Setting stones in prongs is one of the most common methods of stone setting.  In this seminar you’ll learn this fundamental setting procedure from a Master Setter.  Setting round stones in center crowns and side prongs will be the focus of this demonstration, and will also demonstrate shared-prong settings and dealing with colored stones and large belly-bottom stones.

This seminar is part of the program at the Bench Jewelers Conference & Expo, April 24 – 27, 2008 in Los Angeles.  For details on all the seminars offered, more conference & expo information, and to register go to: www.BenchConference.com.
