What you will make

You’ll either make a prong set ring or pendant depending on your skill level. If you’re feeling confident in your soldering capabilities you’ll have the option to make a ring which is a little trickier than a pendant.

What you will learn

We’ll guide you through different stone types and shapes which are most suitable for prong setting. Then we’ll guide you through the following


- What metal sizes to use when prong setting.
- How to create the setting base.
- Adding prongs.
- Attaching a bail or ring.
- Buffing and polishing an intricate piece.
- Cutting your seat.
- Setting the stone, trimming the prongs and a final polish.
