CONGRATS TO @netcreativedesigns 🙌🌈🫶❤️This video is supported by @lindstromtools and I’m excited to announce their new, AFFORDABLE shear cutter EDGE™ available from @riogrande ( They retail for $24) 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒕! These shear cutters are ideal for artisans who need long-lasting and durable precision tools. They require less force from the user, making them ideal for repetitive cuts. They even have a dark, matte finish which prevents eye strain caused by reflective glare and increases the visibility of the workpiece. They thought of everything! These cutters have 0.2 mm misalignment which means they will perform the cleanest cut in the market but with the best durability. ⁣⁣

The Prong Setting⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For this beginner friendly prong setting I used 19g (.90mm) sterling silver wire. These will work harden enough to be suitable for earrings. I wouldn’t recommend for a ring personally. What I like about these prongs is that they aren’t about precision, they are quick and can easily be made in an afternoon. They also don’t require a ton of metal making them cost effective. It is impossible to show all the steps in a 1 minute reel so if you have questions please let me know. I used a Moore’s disc and a silicone wheel to shape my prongs after using my Lindström cutters to trim them back. I also used my flat pliers to carefully apply pressure to the prongs and get them fitting tight (this also work hardens). #sponsored #jewelrymakingtools #flushcutters #prongsetting #makingaprongsetting #finishingjewelry #filing #sandingstick #benchpin #lindstromtools
