Join us for a Claw Setting Masterclass to expand your setting skills and build confidence in setting gemstones.
There can be many advantages to incorporating cast settings in your jewellery, the biggest ones being the ability to realise your designs more efficiently and affordably! This course will help you understand the full variety of setting options available to you as a jeweller – and how to identify where cast settings can provide you with an advantage. In this course, we aim to teach claw setting in a simple and accessible way with minimal tools, enabling you to go away to continue setting in your own workshop. You will learn to set in brass pre-cast settings by setting different-sized, calibrated cubic zirconia stones. With guidance from your tutor, you will learn how to set different shapes of stone with different styles of claws using hand tools and the pendant motor.
Techniques covered:
how to select the correct size of setting for your stone
how to seat the stone correctly using both hand tools and pendant motors
how to securely set your stone
different claw styles
setting up to 4 different shapes of gemstone
how to professionally finish and polish your setting
