Mounting and Setting Stones by Sonia Cheadle
The essential guide to mounting and setting stones for jewellers of all levels. This book is a clear and practical introduction to mount construction and the processes of stone setting, suitable for both beginners and practising jewellers wanting to gain new skills. Through easy-to-follow and illustrated explanations, discover how different stones and cuts relate to their mounts, explore various setting styles, including tension, claw, gypsy, pavé and rub-over styles and with step-by-step instructions, learn how to fix the stone in place. With beautiful examples of work from professional jewellers, a detailed look at mount construction and a useful section on specialist tools and techniques, this guide reveals the skills and methods required for successful mounting and setting.
A fantastic addition to your bookshelf, one that I imagine will end up well thumbed from constant use, as mine already is* Findings, the magazine of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery *
