Otto Frei Basic Stone Setting Tool Kit

The Otto Frei Basic Stone Setting Tool Kit brings together five essential stone setting tools selected specifically to complement the book Introduction to Gemstone Setting with Ann Cahoon. This kit is designed for beginning stone setting students who have already equipped their workbench with core jewelry tools — including a flex shaft — and are ready to add the specialized instruments needed to start practicing prong, bead, and related setting techniques.

This is not an all-in-one starter kit. It is intentionally focused on the stone setting tools that are harder to source as a new student and that align directly with the techniques covered in the Cahoon book. Before purchasing, confirm that your bench is already stocked with files, pliers, a jeweler's saw, a bench pin, and a pin vise. You will also need practice stones and settings to develop your skills.
