Description
Note: This is part of the Intermediate Jewelry Series: Stone Setting. You can receive a discounted price for signing up for all 5 classes via this Link.
Students will learn how to create a pedestal prong setting as well as several applications for this setting. A pedestal prong setting is built onto a pedestal or platform that is the same width as the stone and has prongs to keep the stone in place. Prong settings maximize how much of the stone you can see and are incredibly versatile with most jewelry designs.
