Designer Tips

• Place 10mm cushion square stone into setting, and use nylon-jaw or chain-nose pliers to gently flatten the prongs onto the stone. See tips in our blog, for best way to keep your stone safe and centered.
• Carefully add bail to top of pendant (gently open the prongs with needle-nose pliers if needed).  Use nylon-jaw or chain-nose pliers to securely close the bail.
• One loop on the setting is openable. Twist the loop open far enough to add the bail, then twist to securely close the loop.
• Twist open the loop on an ear wire, add the other end of the setting, and twist to close.
