I am very excited to be doing my first fabricated prong stone setting. This is an amethyst handed down to me through my Aunt Barbara from my Grandmother. It was in a temporary gold-plated prong set ring. I took it out and started to measure a ring and prongs in sterling silver to fit the stone.
I used 18 gauge wire.
this is a 12mm stone which I thought would be interesting to set. It was a challenge because the stone has such a dramatic shape. I enjoyed getting used to the angles as well as fitting the stone in its proper home. Something that really adds to the learning experience is that the stone is sentimental to me.
