I just did a pendant like that with a second gallery setting. I wish I could add a picture to this. I hate those days when your divider won’t stay home.
I love when you mark it out with the marker and giggle..lol I picture you sitting there with a grin giggling rubbing your hands together "love it when a plan comes together" lol... Cant wait to see the second part in this project!! 🙏 And omg that cat!!! 😂😼😾🙀😆😆
I love your vids bro. I think I know why some folks, at least from the USA, are commenting and wondering why you never mount (set) any diamonds. It is a language thing. When I read the name of your channel and clicked on it I fully expected to see someone who mounts diamonds. We call the mounts, 'settings'. A diamond mounter therefore, mounts or 'sets' the stones into their setting. You call it a mount, whereas you would have a stone 'setter' who sets stones into their mount. Very subtle and interchangeable use of verb and noun.
I placed the amount of stones I wanted to use in a circle around the centre stone evenly spaced out and measured the circumference with my calipers. Cut it out a little larger to allow space for filing it back
Rewatching as you know I always do😆 I noticed your collet block is a 28 degree block. I was going to purchase one and have always been under the impression a 17 degree block is more suitable for jewelry making. Can you clarify please?
You're turning into a legend for those home jewellers Chris
Its a coincidence that my style of making things really suits making jewellery at home

To mark equal points on a circle, I have a piece of white cardboard with a '+' on it - and then lighter/thinner lines inbetween those
Thanks Chris. I'm learning a lot.
Thank you for your videos and knowledge.

What is your opinion of circle punches?

Ohhh that explains it very well thank you!
i will try the dot method tests ones judgment and skill thanks
could you please explain how you calculated the exact size for cutting out the first circle/plate. i imagine it is a critical measurement...

@@DiamondMounter OK great thanks. I imagined it to be rather involved and needing to allow a certain amount of room around each stone etc.
