If only everything was as easy to set as a round stone, eh? Using a lovely, sharp setting burr to cut a nice, round seat for your nice round stone. Drop it in, get the metal over, go ahead and finish. Aaahh, bliss.

NOW SUFFER THE HORROR OF SHAPED STONES.

There ain’t no lovely sharp burr where we’re going. Hell, no. This is all done with your fair hands, using a wide variety of tools and techniques. This is proper old school, harking back to the days before you pampered lot grew up with electric drills and pre-made burrs.

This is proper, hand-made jewellery, skillfully cut out to the most accurate of margins and set to immaculate precision. There’s no hiding place here and an error can cost a fair bit of damage… but apart from all of that, it’s FUN!
