[LucinaArt]

Hi All. Anybody try to glue the stones with epoGEM already?

Tutorials are available in English, German and Thai. Just type epoGEM in the search field.

This might be a silly question, but where can I find one of those rulers you are using to determine the height of the cabochon? I have looked everywhere, but I can't find one that measures in millimeters. Maybe I am searching for the wrong thing...? THANK YOU!

@MagpiesTrick Not a silly question at all. It's just a steel ruler, but it's smaller than your average. The inches will be on end edge, the millimeters on the other. I think I picked mine up at a hardware store. You could also try a jewelry supply company, like Rio Grande. You could maybe also search amazon ?

Great video. Do you have a video on how to wire wrap a stone without a hole?

[artjewelrymag]

@titletownAKAboston We don't have a video for that, but we do have wire-wrapped bezel project articles available on our web site.

Your bezel should already be the correct height when soldering it to the plate.

using a file in the manner shown is archaic

Use a bench block.. it's faster and more accurate. your bezel is too tall. the bezel edge should JUST capture the stone. leaving the maximum amount of the stone showing.

Glad to see you cut out the back. Filled in backs hide too much of the stone

[artjewelrymag]

You're right about the height. It is easier if it's correct prior to soldering. But if it isn't, then filing and sanding it down in place is a useful trick. Either way gets you to the same end result.

I always cut out the backs of my settings, unless the stone's ugly below. It shows off the stone, lightens the piece, and saves on expensive material.

you should check the bezal silver before you solder it to the plate. also it is the look of the stone, that your going for 2 to 3 is a good start but there other thing to concider

this vid gets a 4.3
