Easy Mount Stone Setting

by Tammy Powley on May 29th, 2006

My husband has made me a number of wonderful pendants and earrings using some gemstones he actually faceted himself and some he bought. He then set them in an Easy Mount setting.

Now, he will tell you that “easy” maybe an overstatement, but after spending about 10 weeks in one of my first jewelry classes making a fabricated prong setting, well, this set up from Tripps is at least “easier” than fabricating them yourself or casting them either.

If you’ve been wanting to make “fine” jewelry that includes facted stones set in gold, then make sure you look at this system available from Tripps.
