Learning how to make settings correctly for every type of stone and how to set those stones are an important part of a jewelry training. But sadly, it is not taken seriously in many professional trainings. 

Let me tell you about my own experience. In my 2 year ‘classical jewelry’ training, I learned to make settings according to a work sheet. I had to recreate every exercise correctly till 1/10th of a mm. So I learned to work very precise. But I had no idea which size of stones I was making a setting for, or how to adapt the setting for a different kind of stone.

During the 4 years of art academy, It was all very experimental. That is important as well to cultivate your creativity and to broaden your vision. But you cannot become a professional jeweler without the correct technical knowledge.  

I love color and I love gemstones even more. So I dedicated years of selfstudy to find the best ways to adjust bezel settings for every kind of cut. I took evening classes to become a stone setter, not because I want to set all the stones by myself. But  I needed this knowledge to really understand how to create the most beautiful settings!

Let me teach you everything I know about these bezel settings. That way, you can make your bezel settings in the correct way, right from the start!
