Video Course: Two Claw Setting – Part 2 – The Stone Setting & Metal Finishing Process (25 mins)

The next step up in claw setting difficulty! This highly detailed and fully narrated and demonstrated course will further your understanding of claw setting using wax jewellery making techniques. Please note this is the wax process only. The metal finishing process is also available as a separate video

I start off with an insight into the design process, showing sketches leading up to the final concept and then I demonstrate the process of making the wax ring in full utilizing a two claw setting. This setting uses smaller stones than the previous design as well as utilizing a more complex setting method.

This technique will enhance your understanding of stone setting and you will be able to apply these principals to a range of different new aesthetics.

This exercise requires a little experience and it is recommended you first complete our Introduction to claw setting video course (VC-ICS01). We also recommend you purchase part 1 of this course if you haven’t already
