Sorry about the confusion. So I didn't link to any wire in the list for stone flush setting because I made my own wire for this. If your going to be ordering wire you will need to fine something that with fit your stone. So if you get a 2mm stone you will need at least a 3mm wire or larger. 😁👍 The 16ga you might have seen must have been from a different list on that page. 😅
I am a hobbyist jewelry maker, though no where near this caliber. While, at 65 y.o., I don't see myself taking it to this level, I am entranced watching the process. Thanks so much for sharing your technique!
I am the same age as you and took up ring making and refurbishing as a way to make a little cash on the side. I’ve only been at this for two years and am having a blast. I started by buying interesting vintage silver jewelry on online auctions, cleaning, polishing and listing them on Etsy. First year I sold $1,000 and this year I’ve exceeded last years sales in the first quarter. Now I’m selling my own work as well. It’s very gratifying to have something you’ve created from a lump of metal sell. Keep going!
@@CheekyMonkey1776 Congratulations!! I'm A Disabled Homebound Grandma in Virginia. I Found This Amazing Art While Down With The Flu Sadly.... Serious Congratulations On Your Success!! I Wish You A Safe, Happy & Prosperous Holiday Season & In The Future In General!!
I WAS happy wire wrapping until YOU came along. Geez. LOL, thank you! Seriously, you're so easy to watch and follow. Thank you for your clarity and generosity.
As a fellow jeweller, the only technique I tend to do differently is to mark out the spacing, and then use a scriber to make a deeper hole, and I start drilling or burring slowly with the drill or bur touching the metal in that recess. You say in the video that one of the settings was a little off. You might find you have a little more control over the positioning of the hole if you start a little slower.
Great video! For those who don’t have the grip strength to hold the ring still while drilling the holes, you might want to get a Hard Wood Ring Clamp to hold the ring while drilling.

Love the way you teach, make things look easy. Well explained, love the close up videos. It’s nice to have someone that explain things so well. Love the material list, it helps a lot to find the material and tool we need. You are an inspiration! ❤️🌺
This is my absolute FAVORITE channel on youtube! I find your teaching voice and manner easy to follow. I take in person classes too but bar none you are my guru!
That was the best video I've seen all morning and I like that you explain things not just a bunch of squeaky noises and music playing and like some of these other videos you actually explain stuff that's what I need to know I need to learn and when someone's just buzzing through that high speed I ever going to learn anything. Thank you and I like your videos

When you scribe a center line, scribe it from both sides. Any difference (off-center) will show up and your true center is in between the two scribe lines.
Excellent tutorial as usual, I really appreciate the way you always go the extra mile for providing information that is often overlooked in other tutorials that is really vital for a beginner to stone setting like myself
Thanks an I have thought about doing that but I thought it might be a little odd seeing that I post all my stuff for free. If you did wan to help support my work I do have a Patreon and PayPal donation links in the description 😁👍
Thanks. That is kinda the thing I'm trying to do with my channel. I know how hard it is to find good info so I just started making my own for others that happen to be looking for it. 😁👍
GomeowCreations well your doing great this is amazing help I’m in practice with delft clay casting and dremal polishing and this is what I need for when I get good thank you !
To get a more accurate measurement around the ring for the number of stones, simply divide the number of stones into 360 and this will give an angle for each setting. Example, 8 stones would give you a setting every 45 deg. Lay the ring down flat and set a protract underneath and mark the edge every 45 deg. Wam!!
Thanks for the video! I feel like there’s a real lack of high quality and recent jewelry making tutorials on TH-cam. I’ve been trying to learn wax carving but there aren’t a ton of videos out there. I appreciate the hard work!
Hands in the shot is just a fact of life. I will say that in tutorials, seeing your hand motion can be as helpful as seeing the tip of the tool. Between the images and your explanation I’m feeling confident enough to give this a try! Thanks.
Your demonstration and explanation of the process was so detailed. Thank you I have seen a few tutorials on this process and they made it look real hard. I commend you for being clear and concise with your explanations.
Hi GomeowCreations. The maths is right for finding the circumference of the circle and then dividing by eight to get 9.1 in the example(22:45). BUT the application of using calipers to mark out 9.1mm measurements invites error because you are spanning across the curve of the circle 9.1mm but in actual fact you need to travel 9.1mm round the circumference not across it as the distance between callipers is a straight line. This error gives MORE than 9.1 each step ( ~ 9.4mm) as this is a greater distance on an outside curve than the straight line gap between. This doesn't have much of an effect ONCE but if you do it seven times to make eight stone marks you will get and error of more than 2mm on the final gap. A better way using circumference is to mark the distance on a thin piece of paper and WRAP round the circumference surface of the ring to measure the distance.This will then give you accurate 9.1mm increments around. There is however a way to determine exact calliper spacing for the straight line distance using a bit of simple maths. The best way is to think of the ring's circle divided by eight which gives an octagon using eight isosceles triangles. An isosceles triangle is 2 right angle triangles back-to-back so with some simple trigonometry we can get the span needed with callipers as opposed to round the circumference. To make the isosceles triangle is a 45º angle (360º full revolution /8), so we need to half that for the right angle. Then, since we have the angle (22.5º) and the hypothenuse of the triangle (radius of the circle 11.6 that’s 23.2/2), we can use formula to get the span Sin (is a scientific key on most calculators) 22.5 = opp/ hyp So Opp = Sin 22.5 x hyp Opp = Sin 22.5 (from any scientific calculator or computer= 0.382) x 11.6 (rad) = 4.43 We need to double this because the RA triangles are back-to-back, giving a span of 8.86mm So set callipers for 8.8 not 9.1. Also mark 3 round to left from starting point, then four round from right from start so that any compounded errors are minimised. Now this seems like a great deal of fuss for such a small difference, but on items with fewer stone settings it would make an even greater discrepancy. 6 stone settings on the same ring would give nearly 3mm error per step if you set the calipers to the fraction of circumference instead of using the formula…
I love your work and your informative videos - thank you so much! I noticed Jonathon's point too - the caliper measures in a straight line while the ring is curved - leading to a slight difference in length - however spacing on this style of ring isn't critical.
@@GomeowCreations Thank you for getting us 'close' to the measurements, it works! Most of us don't do the scientific math! Can use the circle 'Polar Graph Paper' and adjust the settings to what you are making. Download at www.incompetech.com. Pretty cool. BTW, I LOVE your videos!!! WooHoo!
Exactly! If i want 10 stones, then there is 36° between each one. I divide it by 2 and then use it and the radius to determine the half way between two stones. I can do it by writing, it is not that hard, if we have the cos for that half angle, but there is some trigonometry apps that help a lot since it give us that half way quickly and we have to only input the radius and the half angle (from the center).
Awesome video. Started channel setting stones a couple months ago and I was going straight to the piece lol. Sooooo many rings. Should have done the metal sheet thing first.
I just love your videos, and I the links to the tools/materials you use - that is very helpful as well as the training - you are really nice to follow, when I get my tools, I will replay video and do it - thank you so very much.
Nice video! But honestly , I had never use any setting burrs, I drill a hole, then use a round burr and finally using a hart burr to make a little groove in the setting. The “click” sound is very satisfying 😊
You are an excellent teacher? I gave up trying to learn to stone set years ago cause I couldnt understand it.. but you have explained it so much better than Ive evee seen. Thank you! Question.. sorry,I may have missed this; How do you determine the exact size drill bit and burs to use according to the size of your stone?
And ball burs are less expensive than setting burs, I always use bal burs first and just finish up the fine shaping of the setting with the setting bur. They'll last longer that way!
Just found you and will certainly be watching your videos. I really appreciated your clear explanations, the step by step, and the calculations on the calculator. I had been wanting to learn this technique and am delighted that this is the first video of yours I found. I also appreciate the material list and where to buy as this is most helpful. I live in Spain.Will be back-thank you so much.
It allows light to come through, it also allows you to push the stone out if it gets stuck in the setting and at a bad angle also one it's set it will make it a lot easier to clean under the stone in the future.
@@GomeowCreations ah! I hadn't thought of the light, very subtle design. Thank you for such a quick reply! I'm hoping to try making my own jewelry soon and you are a great resource!
I appreciate the effort that you made with this tutorial but I also wish you spoke about the stone and bur sizes because apparently it is super important for this technique.
Hi Loved the Video, the step by step was great, as a suggestion could you show in the same detail how to set an emerald cut faceted stone, either a claw or bezel,
I finally made it work .. got my flush setting 🤗 made already one in ring and now want to make a ring with more 2 mm stones in it .. keep fingers crossed 🤞 😉
you are a true pedagogue. I was s exited to see what this video would bring. Keep going man, i hope you are having fun and make a living of what you do. Peace ! ;)
Well thank you but I don't think I'm anything special 😅. I'm having fun with this sadly I'm not making a living with it yet but I'm trying though haha.
Randy, super cool thing that blew my mind (LOL): Take my charcoal block and sand it into a practically brand new looking one with 80 grit sandpaper on a flat surface. It was a miracle!! This is a VERY well done video, Randy you are a great teacher.
Oh that is a good idea but I have a new block 😁. This block is used for melting metals and other things that I use a lot of flux on but I will use that trick if I need it to be smooth. 😁
@@GomeowCreations Thank you. You don't really need to show it in a 3D program. You can just talk about all the things that you need to take into consideration. One of the questions I have about this is: does everything need to have a fillet? As my first ring design ever, I'm making a simple ring that has a profile which is just a wire, and then I'm adding equally spaced small balls on it. Does the transition between the balls and the ring band need fillets? If it does, what's the minimum size these for the fillets?
Thanks for this quick and easy tutorial. You actually make it look quite simple and take the fear out of me attempting it.;) Have you ever made flush set stones with beads? That would be helpful if you did a series on the different types of settings
This was a very educational video thanks alot im planning on becomming a jeweler im tired of buying over priced pieces when i could do it myself i have tons of metals to work with just sitting in my safe i just need to buy the tools and chemicals
Like the video really informative and great tutorial...your cool and calm and show step by step.. Just a question .. that drilling or working on the little wood block.. would a mini vice not hold the workpiece for you? Or is this preferred by jewelers
I'm sure you can do that as well but for the most part you just kind of hold it to do it. I have a new tool that is made for holding your ring for setting and drilling.
Could you please tell me what I have to do to a flush setting in a d shape or half round wire? I am trying to do that and it doesn't work. I am using 4x2mm 2mm zirconia 1mm drill 1.4mm ball burr and 2mm cutting burr and tiny burnisher.
What is the liquid flux youre using? Its the paste type in your link, you say "high heat", link for the handy flux is "low temp". Thank you for any help!
I use handy flux and yeah it says it's for low temp brazing but that's not the same as high temp soldering. It says that it works up to 1500f and the solder your are going to be using is going to flow at 1100 to 1600f and it will work for you 😁👍
Thank you!!! This was a great video, very informative, and your step-by-step method was very helpful and informative in teaching how to properly manage the settings. I'm just beginning with my making jewelry endeavors, and I am now a lifelong student and subscriber!!! Thanks again!!!
If you were going to make this ring with another setting (like adding a basket) would you add that first? Or set the small stones first and then al the basket?
I don't remember but you want your ball burr to be a little smaller than the setting burr and the setting burr should be the same size or just a little smaller than the stone so it will snap in place.
So very slightly countersink a hole shaped like the stone and stake it in place with a staking tool and them burnish it smooth? We would just file the hole into other shapes to do other shaped stones yes?

Well I'm always happy to hear that 😁👍
Show us how to repair the posts where a diamond came out. It is nice to see your videos they are
great thank you.
Hi, great video, I'll try to do settings this way. How does the setting tool work to set the stones in though as you're just going around the stone? X
the tip is rounded so it is folding a think layer of metal over the stone to hold it in place
Great video, would like to know what gauge silver you used for that ring and mm and depth as the stones, Thanks
I honestly don't remember the size bit it was a customer piece of metal that I rolled out to make it so it's more or less rectangle.
I’m interested in the bench cutter you have. Can you give me some info on it?
Bench cutter? What part in the video?
Oops wrong video! I’ve seen you use a shear that looks like a small paper cutter.
bit.ly/4inGuillotine this one?
Excellent tutorial. I can’t wait to give this a try.
you are a true pedagogue. I was s exited to see what this video would bring. Keep going man, i hope you are having fun and make a living of what you do. Peace ! ;)
Well thank you but I don't think I'm anything special 😅. I'm having fun with this sadly I'm not making a living with it yet but I'm trying though haha.
ThAt was excellent Very well done
Randy, super cool thing that blew my mind (LOL): Take my charcoal block and sand it into a practically brand new looking one with 80 grit sandpaper on a flat surface. It was a miracle!! This is a VERY well done video, Randy you are a great teacher.
Oh that is a good idea but I have a new block 😁. This block is used for melting metals and other things that I use a lot of flux on but I will use that trick if I need it to be smooth. 😁
Would it be easier to make the holes while its flat? Or would that be a bad idea because they might stretch when your putting into shape?
They will stretch once you bent it. 😁👍
Very good tutorial. Thank you.
There's a little dremmel drill press type tool that I've been eyeballing because it would make drilling the holes etc so much easier
Yeah that is a good idea
Can you make a video on how to design with 3D software optimized for casting? All the things you need to take into account.
I'm really not that good at making things in 3D when it comes to jewelry but one thing that comes to mind is not to make things too thin.
@@GomeowCreations Thank you. You don't really need to show it in a 3D program. You can just talk about all the things that you need to take into consideration. One of the questions I have about this is: does everything need to have a fillet? As my first ring design ever, I'm making a simple ring that has a profile which is just a wire, and then I'm adding equally spaced small balls on it. Does the transition between the balls and the ring band need fillets? If it does, what's the minimum size these for the fillets?
Honestly have no idea what the minimums would be it's more or less something you have to play with. Also you can have sharp edges without fillets.
Great video, very instructive. Thanks
Well thank you very much 😊
great work sir
Thanks for this quick and easy tutorial. You actually make it look quite simple and take the fear out of me attempting it.;) Have you ever made flush set stones with beads? That would be helpful if you did a series on the different types of settings
Thank you and I haven't done this will beads. I will have to look into how to make videos on other setting in the future.
Hi, thank you for the video. What size ball bur did you use?
For the 2mm stone I use a 1.5-1.8mm ball burr.
Thank you for this video it was very helpful
This was a very educational video thanks alot im planning on becomming a jeweler im tired of buying over priced pieces when i could do it myself i have tons of metals to work with just sitting in my safe i just need to buy the tools and chemicals
Thanks for this tutorial! Does this technique works same way with D shape silver wire?
Thank you for the lesson! I will train.
😁👍
Like the video really informative and great tutorial...your cool and calm and show step by step..
Just a question .. that drilling or working on the little wood block.. would a mini vice not hold the workpiece for you? Or is this preferred by jewelers
I'm sure you can do that as well but for the most part you just kind of hold it to do it. I have a new tool that is made for holding your ring for setting and drilling.
Could you please tell me what I have to do to a flush setting in a d shape or half round wire? I am trying to do that and it doesn't work. I am using 4x2mm 2mm zirconia 1mm drill 1.4mm ball burr and 2mm cutting burr and tiny burnisher.
It sounds like the metal needs to be wider. if your stone is 2mm and the metal is the same you will have no room on the sides to set it.
What size is the burnishing point? They look like bead setting tool. Is it cuz I have that.
I think that metal parts is like 2mm or so. I honestly don't know seeing that it came in a supply box I got a long time ago
Amazing video thank you. Very educational and really helped me out👍🏽
What is the liquid flux youre using? Its the paste type in your link, you say "high heat", link for the handy flux is "low temp". Thank you for any help!
I use handy flux and yeah it says it's for low temp brazing but that's not the same as high temp soldering. It says that it works up to 1500f and the solder your are going to be using is going to flow at 1100 to 1600f and it will work for you 😁👍
Thank you!!! This was a great video, very informative, and your step-by-step method was very helpful and informative in teaching how to properly manage the settings. I'm just beginning with my making jewelry endeavors, and I am now a lifelong student and subscriber!!! Thanks again!!!
Well thank you very much and I'm glad that I was able to help you with this 😀
Great video.. Thanks for detailed descriptions of each step..!!
Thank you so helpful as a beginner
If you were going to make this ring with another setting (like adding a basket) would you add that first? Or set the small stones first and then al the basket?
If I understand what you are asking you should do all your soldering before setting stones.
@@GomeowCreations awesome Thankyou!
Great closeup video - can see what you’re doing
I don’t really understand what holds the stone in but I believe
It's basically a thin bit of metal that you are burnishing or rubbing over the stone that keeps it in place
Thank you so much for posting this! you're very clear and the drawing was great to look at in the beginning :)
Hi there, what size are the ball burrs you use in relation to the drill and setting burr size? You don't mention this, Thanks
I don't remember but you want your ball burr to be a little smaller than the setting burr and the setting burr should be the same size or just a little smaller than the stone so it will snap in place.
When pressing with the burnisher, are you pressing dowwards or out to the side? Or both, like diagonally?
I'm pushing on the rim of the hole, so I guess diagonally. I want to move the metal to make a lip to cover the outer edge of the stone.
@@GomeowCreations thank you!
Great video! Thank you.
Great video thank you. Can you do the same on a domed ring?
You can
So very slightly countersink a hole shaped like the stone and stake it in place with a staking tool and them burnish it smooth? We would just file the hole into other shapes to do other shaped stones yes?
