Photography by Christine Dhein Illustrations and layout by Tim McCreight

This book is intended for beginners, hobbyists, craftspeople, jewelry artists and professional stonesetters. Fifteen setting projects are arranged in ascending complexity, starting with simple bezels and advancing through a variety of prong settings. This is followed by detailed information on preparing a graver including four bead-setting projects and two advanced channel setting projects. Like Revere's companion book, Professional Jewelry Making, this book uses closeup photography and clear descriptions that make even challenging settings available to any committed jeweler.

Aurora ★★★★★

The step-by-step photos by Christine Dhein make tricky techniques like channel setting finally click for me. I've been soldering for years but always avoided stone setting, and this book actually walks you through it without assuming prior knowledge.

Michael ★★★★★

Finally, a setting book that actually respects a beginner’s time—the layout is clean and the photos by Christine Dhein make each step obvious. I’ve already used it to set my first cabochon without any panic.

Matthew M. ★★★★★

The step-by-step illustrations by Tim McCreight finally helped me get pavé settings right after struggling for months. Really clear photography of the actual tools in use too.
