Professional Stonesetting- A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Setting Techniques-by Alan Revere

Professional Stonesetting: A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Setting Techniques by Alan Revere is designed for beginners, hobbyists, craftspeople, jewelry artists, and professional stone setters alike. The book presents fifteen setting projects arranged in ascending order of complexity, beginning with simple bezels and progressing through a wide variety of prong settings. From there, the book moves into detailed instruction on preparing a graver, followed by four bead-setting projects and two advanced channel setting projects.

Like Revere's companion volume, Professional Jewelry Making, this book relies on close-up photography and clear, step-by-step descriptions to make even the most challenging setting techniques accessible to any committed jeweler.
