  • This tutorial shows how to make simple 8 prong setting for aHigh domed square cabochon. The stone I used is a 13 mm Moonstone. This is an intermediate level project. For materials, I used 16 gauge (1.3 mm) and 18 gauge (1.02 mm) sterling round wire, 16 gauge (1.3 mm) sterling square wire, and number 4 low dome sterling half round wire(5.89 mm). As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and a liquid flux.

    Well, I did it! Bought myself a few things to get started with a little silversmithing at home and it's all thanks to you and your channel which inspirated me to begin a new journey. Thanks a million Chad!

      I’m really glad I could be a part of this for you! I hope it brings you as much joy as it has for me:)

      Have fun! It can be frustrating, but so, SO rewarding! This channel has helped me immeasurably! One tip that Chad gives pretty much every video that I have been working on is pick soldering. Even with my low skill utilizing it, it has made my work easier and cleaner. A thought I would share is, don't get discouraged! Days nothing seems to work right, I put it down, take a breather and try again the next day. You can do this! And I bet you will love it!

    I would like to know how you made the basket ? Really good idea 😊

    • @chadssilversmithing

      Hello Joy! I basically made a hashtag symbol out of 4 pieces of wire, soldering them together and then bending them into a basket shape:)

    Morning chad,im sorry for hijacking this post to ask this question but... have you done a pendant setting for a trillion shaped stone. I made a newbie mistake of cutting an opal to that shape to maximise the stone usage,but i think setting it is going to be an issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    • @chadssilversmithing

      Hello Jay! I don't think I've prong set a trillion for the channel, but definitely some bezel settings. Maybe this one has some ideas for you? ruclips.net/video/Rr2WsP8ui4Y/видео.htmlsi=fVsB8EvNXJS1ieCE
