Clear, colour-illustrated tutorials guide you through options from bezel and prong settings to snap settings, with practical tips alongside each process.

It also includes an overview of tools and materials, advice on choosing and evaluating different stones, and instructions for setting cabochons, faceted stones and other variants. A final section looks at care, maintenance and repair, supported by a gallery of finished work that showcases contemporary experimentation with settings, materials and stones. Suitable for professional jewellery makers, beginners and Etsy sellers.
