    I had been searching for years for how to wire set faceted stones, how to make prongs, etc. without soldering. I'm so happy to have come across your channel. Now I can confidently configure the plan I drew years ago!

    OH my goodness, you've just opened up a whole new world for me.
    I inherited a box of gemstones that are all shapes and sizes that I have struggled to make bezels for in the traditional way. Thank you so much.

    Hey folks! I just used this for silver-filled, with 22 g in round wire, and it totally still works. I think it would also work with 24, but I wouldn't go below that. (Maybe 24 for a small stone?) Round wire is trickier because you won't have as sharp a bend and it won't snap together as cleanly as square, but it's doable.

    You make this look so effortless! It took me three solid tries to get that basket pulled together. I love the final result for a 4 ct. Welo Opal

    Another great tutorial, and at exactly the right time, as I’ve been trying to figure out this procedure for the last week or so. Thanks for giving us another great technique to incorporate into our work!

    Beautiful! This has a great symmetry to it which very much adds to the stone without covering up the cut 😍

    Just completed this in copper with a cubic zirconia, It's definitely not perfect ...but I did it! ...You saved my life with this, I've been trying to figure out how to set two stones for a very specific custom .. and this is perfect! As ever, thank you so much for everything you share!

    This is an absolutely brilliant method for prong settings. I used it for an ammonite fossil which is, of course, odd shaped. I just altered the distance between prongs at the pointed end and it worked wonderfully! Thank you. I will use this often.

    I love your mellow teaching voice, and your clear concise teaching style.
    I attached my basket to a ring and loved it. It took me three tries before I was completely satisfied with the procedure and the outcome. That being said I would love to see you make a video showing how you would tackle the process.😍

    Oh my goodness! This is the best claw setting tutorial ever. I got beautiful results on my first attempt, using round wire too. Its even gorgeous on the back. This will be my go-to setting from now on. I can finally use all of my pretty diamond cut gems that I've been hoarding. Thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful video's!
