Two-Bead setting - => 7 photos

 This wedding ring was extremely popular circa 1965 A.D. as in those earlier years, I was given the chance of perfecting my Diamond Setting skill.

 The popular use of an Onglete graver is shown in this essay. THERE ARE NO 'SHORT CUTS' IN THIS DESIGN.

 I would only use an Onglette #1 graver to 'cut and remove' any metal around the new beads.

 For the cuts on the sides, these will be essential in creating the desired 4 angled cuts. Don't be too concerned right now with the 'rough cutting'.

 

  Onglette cutting is so extrememly essential in the 'preliminary cuts', I can't over-emphasize this initial process.

 With the Onglette graver #1, cut an outline around the initial pattern (as shown).

 Cut DEEP with your Onglette graver. The sides of your graver will nicely join all of the 'ends of the patterns'.

  With a FLAT graver #40 (width) carefully join all of the four sides together. Keep the side angles to end up with a 40degree angle on all of the cuts.

 This particular cutting takes much 'experience and determination'. The cutting is very important for all of the sides of the graver.

 Recut all of the lines with an Onglette #2 graver that has a smooth cutting edge. Be careful not to break off the two beads, 

  Do not set the gemstone until all of the sides of the pattern have been "Bright-Cut".
