In this essay, there are many small errors in the setting of these square stones. These were purposely created for future display in my blog.
======================================
The Green stone ring shows the correct setting, now look at the Pink stone ring. One word...OUCH! There are many spaces in between those 'end bezels'.
The Red stone ring shows little spaces and it looks like a 'channel setting' has been made.
The Blue stone ring looks like a disaster as the inside of the bezel claws are literally all over the place
The spacing of the stones is 'near perfect' as can be. But one thing to know is that the stones must NEVER TOUCH EACH OTHER, if they do, there could be breakage of the Girdle of the delicate stone. (Breakage could occur during the setting processes).
The #4/0 saw blade separating the 'end bezels' is crooked when you look further down from the claw tip.
The 'end bezel' tops are as crooked and not evenly filed flat. The only thing I can truthfully mention is the separation of the stones as this could be a major problem if one stone gets damaged.
I'd give this ring setting project a definite "10+, out of 10".
Even in a Channel Setting process, all of these stones are 'side by side' and just barely touching each other.
The 'Saw Blade separating' is not uniform from the Bezel tip. This is not nice to see.
One 'End Bezel' is thicker on the Blue stone and thin on the White stone.
I'd give this Blue stone ring a definite "8 out of 10", why is this? The 2 Blue end bezel tips are thin in comparison to the other 3 stone bezels in the centre.
In closing, many problems were mentioned, but you as the reader will see just how difficult it is to set these End Bezels. Hope you learned a few setting techniques with this essay.
