Making A Fancy Saddle Stone Ring: A Silversmithing Tip

This tutorial shows how to create a prong setting for a saddle shaped faceted stone. This particular piece features a pink CZ or Cubic Zirconia. I would categorize this as an advanced project. The materials I used were: 18 gauge sterling sheet and14 gauge sterling square wire. As always, I am using Hard silver sheet solder, and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande. This tutorial features the steps to making a unique setting for an atypical stone.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!
