The Bergeon 6495-15 is a specialized aluminum jig designed for laying out and fabricating wire prong settings, ensuring perfectly symmetrical results every time. One end of the tool features \u003cstrong\u003e8 notches\u003c\/strong\u003e angled at \u003cstrong\u003e10 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the opposite end features \u003cstrong\u003e12 notches\u003c\/strong\u003e angled at \u003cstrong\u003e20 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e. The grooves are precisely spaced so wire strips align evenly, making it easy to construct 4-prong, 6-prong, or custom prong configurations to suit your design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo use, cut wire strips \u003cstrong\u003e20–30 mm long\u003c\/strong\u003e and place them into the grooves in your desired prong count arrangement. Secure the prongs with super glue or binding wire, and add gallery wire for additional support at this stage or later. Because the jig body is aluminum, it must be removed before torch soldering. For laser welding or PUK welding, welds can be made while the setting remains on the tool. Once assembled and joined, remove the setting, trim the wire ends to fit your stone, and finish as desired. The completed round setting can even be shaped in a bezel block to produce fancy shaped settings from the same fabricated base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003e15 mm diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e version.
