Great instructor and instructions!! Smooth calm voice easy to understand! And some fantastic videography that we can really get in there and see what he’s doing! Thank you! 👌👍
Thank You so much, thus eas so informative❗ You gave me so many Ah Ha moments on how to use the tools and what I've been doing wrong❣️ Greatly appreciate your knowledge and teaching through this video❣️
I like a nice thick bezel and make my own tube settings using 0.5-1.0 mm Sterling. I’ve never yet had to file the edge of the settings to make setting easier. I use a hammer and setting punch.
This is one of if not the very best explanation and demo for setting a stone or cab in a tube setting. Thanks sooo much and I hope you do many more very detailed demos such as this one. I just LOVE Rio!! 👩🏼🎨🌵🔨
Great video, Scott! I've never seen a hammer handpiece in use before, so that was really nice to see. Could you do another video on how to set those taller cabs, though? The very idea of using glue is anathema to me, but I don't really know how to secure the stone with a bezel when the sides are taller than the bezel.
Thanks for explaining it. Question, what kind of tubing is it? Is it regular sterling tubing? Or is it the thick kind, or is it special tubing for bezel making only? Thanks again
Hello, I hope you can help! How do you do rubover set a single round stone on signet rings? Should I use a flat top with straight edge stone and just glue it? Or a flat top with single bevel stone? If using a FTSB stone that is 1.5mm in height, do i need the bevel to be a bit higher than the stone? And what would the thickness of the bezel should be? Many thanks in advance!
We appreciate the question. Our technical team is not 100% certain of what you are requesting, but they recommend watching the attached video at 3:23 to learn how to flush set in a signet ring. ua-cam.com/video/MllFfsZqX40/v-deo.html
You can also use a brass punch (make them yourself with tool brass rods) and hammer to push a heavy bezel like that. The trick is to tap it towards you (so the stone is between you and the punch- which makes the work easier to see). A hammer hand piece is awesome, but not 100% necessary (in case you’re like me and prefer to work with simple, inexpensive tools)
Hi Joyce, Thanks for watching! The other commenter, Jeri, is correct. Scott is using a hammer handpiece. You can see them here ow.ly/o83x30msAeT Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can help to answer for you! 😀
You don't have to use the hammer piece. You can achieve the same result by using a nail that you've flattened and polished and a hammer. You can also buy a stone setting system from Rio Grande. They come in different sizes and prices.

How dare you tell people to GLUE stones into setting - that isn't how real jewellery makers set stones - they use the metal to set the stone NOT glue! Phil

Svidja mi se vas rad i video koji ste prikazali
Excelente vídeo. Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.
Very interesting friend.
Awesome! Thank you
This is one of if not the very best explanation and demo for setting a stone or cab in a tube setting. Thanks sooo much and I hope you do many more very detailed demos such as this one. I just LOVE Rio!! 👩🏼🎨🌵🔨
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We love hearing it and we always want to help in any way we can!
Nice great explanation, instructor, thanking you
You are welcome!
Thank you... Great class! 😉🌻
Thank you for sharing!
Great video, Scott! I've never seen a hammer handpiece in use before, so that was really nice to see.

Hi Wendyannh, Thanks for your comment! We'll pass this suggestion along to Scott.
I also need instructions on setting a taller cab in the tube
Hiya,
Great video, thank you. Do you do these settings in Argentium, please?
Stay safe, Steve.
Great video, great voice! What is that vice setup?! #want!!!
good tutorial!
Thanks! So glad it was helpful.
Thanks! Hopefully, one day i will be able to make to do this.
You can do it!
Hi! I love the finished look of the ring! Is that half round wire he used for the ring band? If so, any idea what gauge? It looks great!
Hi, and thanks for asking! Our jewelry techs say that you could use half-round wire for this, and they suggest 8-gauge. Hope this helps!
What name the tools you used for make frame round for out shape? Thanks 👍🙏
The - best! Thank you very much!
Glad you liked it!
Plis Quadrat stoun setting
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Good
I would like to see you set an oval stone into one of your cast settings. Such as cutting a seat for a faceted oval stone.
Thanks for explaining it. Question, what kind of tubing is it? Is it regular sterling tubing? Or is it the thick kind, or is it special tubing for bezel making only? Thanks again
Hi Ingrid, Thanks for your question. These tube settings are cast from sterling silver using a mold. Hope this helps!

What tool did you use with shaft.. that had tapping motion? Great video & thumbs up to all those other great comments!
It’s a hammer hand piece. I have one and it fun!
You can also use a brass punch (make them yourself with tool brass rods) and hammer to push a heavy bezel like that.

I wish you’d do the same video, without using a hammer hand piece. Many of us learning to set don’t have such lovely tools (yet) .
You don't have to use the hammer piece. You can achieve the same result by using a nail that you've flattened and polished and a hammer. You can also buy a stone setting system from Rio Grande. They come in different sizes and prices.
I dislike the tube setting but I appreciate your instruction!
I'm confused on what you said about annealing, wouldn't you let it cool down slowly rather than quenching and hardening it?
Non ferrous metals don’t harden when quenched
How can I get that hammer machine?
And what's it's cost?
