Essential Gemstone Setting Tools
Setting gemstones is the most delicate and responsible stage in the creation of jewelry. The process requires precision, experience and the use of specialized tools that ensure the stone is securely set without damage. At Sep Tools, we carry all the tools necessary for stone setting, including gemstone setting tools and diamond setting tools. Let's take a look at a few of the basic tools needed for gemstone and diamond setting work.
- Gemstone tweezers: these fine and precise tools allow you to gently hold and position stones before setting. The tweezers provide a safe grip and will not damage gemstones.
- Engraving Cutter Set: used to create neat and precise recesses in the metal where the stone will be placed. These tools help control the depth and shape of the seating area, which is critical for a secure setting.
- Hammer and stops: a light hammer in tandem with stops is used to easily and gradually set the stone in the setting. The jeweler uses the stops to create even pressure, which helps to avoid damage to both the stone and the setting.
- Sharpening stipples: used to finish the metal around the stone to ensure a firm and even setting. They help in giving an aesthetic look and precise setting.
The use of these tools allows jewelers to securely set gemstones and diamonds, ensuring the longevity and perfect appearance of the jewelry pieces
Burs and Pliers for Stone Setting
For jewelers engaged in setting gemstones, choosing the right tools is a guarantee of accuracy and durability of the finished product. The arsenal of any professional should include such important tools as bur, hart bur, ring opening plier and nose plier. These tools are indispensable at every stage of work, from the preparation of the setting to the careful setting of the stone.
Bur - It is precision in creating the seating position
- Bur are small drills used to create recesses and holes in metal for setting stones. They can be used to perfectly prepare a seating area for any shape or size of stone.
- Hart bur is a special type of drill that helps to create precise channels for setting gemstones. It is an ideal tool that can be used to accurately create seating for stones with a variety of facets.
Each of these tools gives the jeweler control over the process and allows for high precision, even when working with small stones or complex settings.
Ring Opening Plier - This is an easy and precise way to work with ring settings
- Ring Opening Plier - helps to open ring settings for inserting or replacing stones with precision and ease. Due to their design, they provide a smooth opening without damaging the metal.
Nose Plier - This is control and precision when working with small parts
- Nose Plier (pliers with tapered ends) - provide precision when working with settings and fixing parts around the stone. They allow the jeweler to control every movement, ensuring delicate fixing of the diamond.
The use of specialized tools for fixing gemstones is a guarantee of durability of jewelry. Without the proper equipment, there is a risk of damaging the stone or fixing it incorrectly in the setting, which can lead to the loss of the stone.
Sep Tools offers a wide range of professional stone setting tools to help make the process not only accurate, but also convenient.
Polishing Kits for Perfect Finishing
Once the stone is securely set in the setting, it is important to give the piece a flawless look. For this purpose, special gemstone polishing kits are required. This final stage of the work ensures that the jewelry has a perfect finish and that its structure is preserved.
The components of the gemstone polishing kit include:
- Polishing pastes - special compositions that are used to finalize the surface of stone and metal. They help to smooth out the smallest scratches and give the surface a shine.
- Polishing tips and disks - allow the jeweler to carefully polish both small parts and larger surfaces.
- Polishing wheels - used in the early stages of polishing to remove rough irregularities or machining marks.
Each of these elements helps the jeweler to control the polishing process and achieve perfect results.
Polishing is not just a process of polishing a product to a shiny and perfect finish. It helps protect the stone and metal from future damage. A smooth surface is less susceptible to scratches and oxidation, keeping your jewelry attractive for years to come.
