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!
It is really phenomenal that you freely share your knowledge and genius. Thank you!
I love how you set this stone can you show how you would do it for a ring
I was just wondering the same thing. How to add it to a Pharaoh's style ring.
Looks like we are all thinking of rings.....lol. Thank you for teaching us how to set a stone.
Yes! 💍
O.k. right, I watched a video of his yesterday and it was unfinished also.
Same
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
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.
PLEASE KEEP TRYING AND WATCH ANDREW BERRY edit: you got this
Really like the little round corners of the prong component. TY so much for this great tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Thx homie. I've been trying to figure out an easier way to set and this is just what I needed... long-distance highfive ✋
I appreciate what you're doing... thx again -kris
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!
Wow, what a soothing voice. Thank you for the video.
I need to practice prong setting more, thank you for making this so easy to follow
This is the easiest prong setting I've seen! Thank you for sharing! If I can ask you to speak a little louder, my speakers are at 100% and I still have a little trouble hearing your soft spoken voice!
Thank you! I just bought an Omen laptop customized and it has everything but the crappiest speakers. I can't believe it! My other computer has the Beats audio and I can hear everything. I paid almost $1500.00 for the new one, $800.00 for my other HP one, should have stuck with that! Thanks for listening to me vent!
Thank you very much for your videos. When you are wrapping it looks so simple. It would be great if one day i could do just a fraction of what you can do.
Thank you!! I have faith in you!
Love this. I just did my first commission in sterling silver and I did a prong setting for it! What a coincidence! I did my prong setting completely differently so it's awesome to see a different technique for the same setting. Thanks for the vid~
I think I got all that I need to do some of your projects ❤ Spent a wad of money, but I got everything ♥️ Up to now, I have been playing around with round wire ❤ Now it is time to upgrade to half round and square wires ♥️ This time I bought all copper because I want to use them for practice, until I can be better ❤ Keep bringing those videos on ♥️ Thank you ❤
I love it! Can you show us how you would create a pendant using that stone?
Did he make an update?
You are awesome and you make that look so simple! Phew that's a challenge for a beginner!
Thank u so much for a long time been trying to figure how to do this
WOW, Now I know what to do with that big box of my semi precious stones. Do you have a video on how to complete this to make a ring please ? Thank you sooooo much.
THANK YOU!! This has been what's keeping me from making decent jewelry my entire life! 😭😭😭 I can't express how appreciative I am of this video. AND ITS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND
That was ingenious! I can already see how I'd do a ring from that (incorporating weaving)! Thanks!
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 exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this!
Thank you for showing how to do this, and the plus is no soldering.
Can you show how to make a ring after this? Thank you!👍
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.
Just curious, hope you can help. Maybe it's just that I'm still new to this method you've shown, but I struggle to get things sized up correctly. My prongs end up being too long or too short. Any advice? Thank you for sharing your talents. Best videos around.
I have that same question, any help would be appreciated.
Definitely going to have to try this out. Thanks for the tutorial.
This is amazing I have been trying to find a way to do this for years!
You're wonderful! I can't support you though. No doubt you have more money than I do. But thank you for showing me this. I have way more control than the way I was taught on copper. Thank you!
Beautiful job!
Do you REALIZE the genius behind this even?☆☆☆☆ lol
YES!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I CAN FINISH SO MANY PROJECTS WITH THIS TECHNIQUE NOW!!!!
How do you finish projects from this?
This is excellent. Do you have to use square wire? Would it work with round?
I have the same question
Thanks for the tutorial! I can’t wait to try this technique
Oh man, this is *wicked* cool ~ thank you!
Thank you so much man! - Fortune
You are the master love your work xx
Me encantó!!!!! Podría mostrar ,en otro vídeo, cómo termina el anillo???
Could you show in other vídeo how do you finish the ring ????? Thanks!!!!!!
Thank You So Much for this 🙏🛠
Beautiful! This has a great symmetry to it which very much adds to the stone without covering up the cut 😍
Would this work for a heart setting? Thank you for giving us this tutorial, I totally love the look of this setting.
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.😍
Love your videos they are so helpful! Thank you!
I came back to this because I'm trying to adapt same concept to a trillion cut stone
Check out his tutorial on attaching elements to frames to get some direction on how to incorporate this into finished pieces (i.e. rings 😊)
Where is that tutorial?
@@claraandriessen8423 His channel-Raftark Jewelry-under videos look for "attaching elements to frames"
@@heathermoh Thanks
Me impresionó!! Mil Gracias!👌

That was amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Very beautiful, thank you for sharing !
Great tutorial. Thank you.
How would incorporate the loose ends into a ring band?
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing 😊
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
Amazing! Thank you
BRILLIANT 🙌🏼❣️ THANK YOU SO...... much!!!!!! Would it be possible to show how to make that into a ring please?
A nice way to accomplish a prong setting. I had never see this before. Thanks for sharing your talent. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Excellent!!!
thank you, I understand every step and I don't even speak english
I love your tutorials!!! 🥰 🌈🌈🌈🥳😻💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Je vous remercier beaucoup c'est un trés bon travaile bon coufage
Wonderful tutorial!!!
Fiiiinnnalllyyy!!! Been looking forever for a wire wrap version of prong setting. A gazillion thank yous!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't tell you how much I LOVE this. I have been trying to make a proper Basket for stones, THIs Is IT !!!!! Bless You my Friend!!!!!
How do you measure the distance of the Size of prongs based on the stone size? If I have a 5mm stone, should my prongs bend be 5mm??
Great! You're #1!!!
I was good up until the part where you join the two parts to form the basket. I just can’t figure out. I was using round wire because I don’t have square. Maybe I need to get some and try again. I’m trying to set sea glass.
Can you do a heart shape setting
What do you do after you set it in the basket like you have four pieces of wire sticking out on the sides? What do you do after that?
Hello, I just discovered your tutorials and was impressed. they are impressively creative. Could you tell me what wires do you use please? it's silver. and where can I buy them. Greetings from Argentina.
I love you talent. Thank you for share.
Officially a MASTER.... you just came up with the easiest most awesomely executed prong setting in this style..... OMG.... you better CALL IT yours.... the raftark method!!♡◇◇♡€€€4 ☆☆☆☆told YOU YOU are a bad ASS.... LOL lmao
Are you using dead soft wire cuz you just whip that wire into shape lol. OMGAWD! Mind Blown! 🧠🎆 Thank you kindly. Your craftsmanship is SUBLIME!!!!
I am getting Married this year and i told my bride to be that i wanted to make our wedding rings. I feel it will make them extra special. I have been trying to figure out how to mount a faceted stone to her ring. When I seen this video it was like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. I cant thank you enough!!!!! keep up the awesome tutorials!
This is great!!! You r kinda a smarty- pants! Thankyou!
Wow thanks so much.. I have been trying to figure out how to do something like that forever.
Thank you so much is a fabulous how’s you make it fir 5he small Benton...
I tried it with a 7x5 mm oval. It doesn't work for that. But i could use the prongsetting for a 8 mm round stone. Do i have to do something different for a small or very small stone? Or does this setting only work from a certain stone size? Perhaps i should use a thinner wire?
Perfect, something to work on while stuck at home! Thank you brotha!
So
Wow, I can really use this technic. Plus you are an exceptional teacher!!
Thank you!!
Can you tell me what those flat pliers are called? You didn't mention that. Also, are you answering your questions via email? I'm not seeing any responses from you in the comments. Thank you.
Best tutorial ever. Seriously, you do an awesome job and I love the length of the video as well.
THANK YOU! I knew this Could be Done! I must Practice.
Thanks, Nolan! You're way is the best I've seen!
Hallo! Could you tell me what kind of pliers you’re using? Mine are flat nose, but not as wide. Thanks in advance!
Yes!! Please show a tutorial on how to add it to a Pharaoh's style ring. 🙏
Hello. Could you tell me please the next step? What next we should do we those four protruding wires? How to make fasteners for the earnings?
Did u measure before or something to know how big you wanted your Initial half square were the prongs are how did you know how far to go down on your pliers to bend like if I had a little bit smaller stone obviously I would go a little smaller
Crazy me but you didn’t measure anything before you put the stone in. How did you know how big to make the basket for the stone?
Beautiful ez, where's the put INTO Pendant?
BEAUTIFUL
What type of pliars to Google them and I can buy a pair?
I'm assuming if you use long enough wires you could make the whole ring using the 2 wires
Muy bien realizado el kick off para usar beads o piedras preciosas o semi preciosas fui yo en los 80 inclusive con un clip de stationary. Porque habia gente que no tenían ni idea. Las artes de Matt Sarah sarah y. Mu bien trabajadas pero no recuerdo mucho ese arte he visto oelo que usan cabellos en la antiguedad para hacer prendas y hay gente que las colleccionas. Ese arte de Matt Sarah y M. Se ve bien art nouveau entre art deco y nouveau entiendo eso es de esa epoca donde todavia todo era artesanal. Como no veo lamparas y vitrales con eso eso es bien artesanal de personas tratando de echar hacia adelante los energumenos malditos me llegaron a decir mira lo que hacen esto no gusta......y me mostraron lo de Matt Sarah y M. Le dije no gusta porque se ve de dragon's o art nouveau son cosas como su arquitectura. La gente no lo sabe apreciar yo si porque ese estilo es art nouveau. Es bellisimo pero hay personas que les parece mountrosas por ignorance porque no saben. Yo se el valor de ese arte nouveau eso vale muchisimo y el trabajo y paciencia y arte envueltos. Eso que realizable fue como yo parir en un gesto para ayudar unas ideas que no se me pagó me usaron intelectualmente me robaron mi dinero yo 19 años y millonaria no me dejaron casarme con mis millones y tener hijos formar un hogar ni me interesaba la fama ni el mismo dinero queria seguir trabajando ahirrar estudiar educar y criara mis hijos y desoies inverter y ayudar a mucha gebte inclusive mi familia hermana y hermanos me quitaron todo sabian que era un pridigio y me explotaron sexualmente e intelectualmente me querian obligar a tener una hija soltera yo soktera no lo hice ni lo permits ser masre soltera es ser irresponsable si estas estudiandi eres una persona sana e inteligente y sabes lo que quieres. Lamento comunicarte que eres eso que me persiguio e hizo daño. No te agradezco nada y no espero ni kudos ni felicitaciones hay mucha gente que murio tidavia soy duena de todo y albacea de todas las cuentas mundialmente y gente imbecil como.los energumenos Chen epstein trump y muchisimos mas hicieron todo lo posible por llevar el mundo al caos que vivimos. Yo me lavo las manos como poncio PILATO y hay mucha gente que morira los que hicieron daño y mal yo n I se quien eres tu ni Sarah ni Matt ni M. Lo siento. Pero que lindo y birn trabajado te quedo ese trabajo parece como si lo hubiese hecho yo.
Y sobre los energumenos yo se los advertí y no me hicieron caso.
Will this work on round gemstones as well
Trying to figure out a way with a rectangular stone for a ring .. looks perfect but how to create the ring ?
What hardness is the wire your using? I have dead soft only but im worried that it might not work.
Are there any other white prong settings of faceted stones you can demonstrate? Thanks!
These are phat. Ty for sharing but idk if i can make wire anything look that good
I MEANT, HOW DO YOU ATTACH THIS TO OR TURN THIS INTO A RING?
Thank you so much for your good and helpful video 🙏❤️
Thats nice but what's the next step how will the setting be incorporated in to a jewelry piece
