Facebook LIVE Event EPISODE 88 - Modding Your Prongs
Modding Your Prongs:From faceted stones to cabochonsThe anatomy of faceted stones requires that the prong on a pendant or ring settings for these types of cut stones have a pre-notched prong because the girdle of the faceted stone should rest right into the prong notch.  At a trade show held in Vancouver this past weekend, we've modified many pendant and ring settings that had pre-notched prongs settings designed for faceted stones into prongs that work best (and look great) for cabochons.Mark Lareau, our product specialist, will show you how you can easily modify the a pre-notched prong setting yourself into a flat prong setting suitable for cabochons.Facebook Live Showroom EPISODE 8810:30 am Pacific TimeWednesday, March 30, 2022Live Replay
