So how DO you set a cab into the jewelry? How does the gem get locked in? Im too ignorant about this and it angers me

[@spwinaustin]

Hey Michael, thanks for watching! I’ve ever actually made a real piece of jewelry, I just enjoy working with the stones. I understand that if the cab has a chamfered edge the silversmith will bend the setting to hold the stone, otherwise I suspect some type of jewelry specific epoxy would be used.
