Cast-Not-Set Classes!
In the first video I demonstrate four different setting techniques for setting cast-able gemstones directly into wax models for casting in place (also known as cast-not-set). We carve a basic stacking ring from scratch in the first tutorial and cover the fundamentals of each different style of setting. I present to class with pre-carved rings for the remainder of the tutorials, which I carved in advance of the "setting" stage.
