The author describes dozens of ways to set stones, including bezels, prongs, pavé, and channel settings.

This review is from: Setting Stones in Metal Clay (Spiral-bound)
I teach Jewelry and metalworking at a college and have introduced PMC as part of the casting segment. Although this method has not been sanctioned by the state as part of the curriculum, I still include it. I have been reading numerous books on this process and this book by far has the best explanation on setting stones, it goes in great detail and offers good advice. For any individual that is serious in PMC this is an important reference book to have.

This review is from: Setting Stones in Metal Clay (Spiral-bound)
I was very happy with this book -- i have very little metalsmithing and metal clay experience, and was hungry for more information on how to incorporate stones into my work. this book provides a lot of information on various techniques and how to execute them. there's a lot of general reference that's useful to working with metal clay in general. not fluffy like other books i've gotten on this subject. i do wish there were more illustrations that took you step by step through some of the techniques, but there's definitely many many options in the book for setting stones.
