[Jewelry making - Article 00667] - [Orchid] Construction of an Emerald Collet

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    I have searched the fantastic and informative archives for details
    on making a collet for a large Emerald cut stone. I know that there
    are a number of ways to go about this project. I have a 16 x 10
    stone and three 6x4 stones which require 18ct whitegold settings
    with filagree work on the side, and am deciding if I should pierce,
    fabricate or, buy an emerald cut collet punch. If you know of any
    good information on this project, your help would be much
    appreciated. My soldering and fabricating skills are very good, but
    I have not been required to make settings of this kind before. The
    large stone is for a ring, and the 3 smaller, for earrings and
    pendant. 

Thank you,
Louise Shaw.
