At the Bench: Make a Cushion Cut Prong Set Ring with Cathedral Shoulders

Come with me as I create a prong set ring for a cushion cut Smokey Quartz! This is my first time attempting cathedral shoulders like this. I have an upcoming project for a cushion cut moissanite that I was using this ring as a prototype for.
As a self taught metal/silversmith, I am constantly trying to push myself to do more and try harder techniques. Some of what you see me do might not be “right” from a classically taught jeweler’s point of view but I am very happy with how this ring came out so I don’t think my technique is “wrong.” But I definitely have a lot to learn!!
So excited to share my next creation with you!!
With love,
🤍Vanessa🤍

It already looks amazing 🤩👏👏👏 What’s amazing, it’s how much work, patience and knowledge, it requires to create this beautiful jewelry 👏👏👏(I’m talking about the people who are creating hand made jewelry).

I was actually looking at vevor.com because they have a phenomenally priced ball vice… I just haven’t bitten the bullet yet and purchased it 🫣😅

Love your personality and your work. Was that a diamond bur you used to bur out the corners of inside the bezel? ❤

[@_withlove_jewelry]

Thank you very much ☺️☺️ I used a round bur on the prong and under bezel ✨
