Marquise Ruby Stone Setting! => 14 photos

 Marquise shaped Rubies need to be carefully placed into a wedding band. You have two claws with two curved basket-settings to work on.

 To start the setting process, we need a ROUND bur that is the same size of the point of the Girdle of the stone.

  You need a BUD bur that will enlarge the pavilion shape of the bezel-setting. Carve around the deepest area of the stone.

 There must be another larger BUD bur that will curve the setting evenly from one claw post to the other.

 

 GENTLY carve the bezel setting as the shape of the stone must coincide with the metal frame.

 Place the Ruby into this setting and make sure that stone isn't moving around in the bezel.

 NOW, we can GENTLY press over the two claws, one at a time. Understand that these two claws will forever hold the stone in place.

 If the Rubies are of different sizes, then select the largest stones for the middle of the setting.

 Please makr sure that the stones are level and laying flat.

These end-claw-settings is where the smallest stones will be placed.

 

 Just make sure that ALL OF THE STONES ARE SECURE IN THE RING.

Please be sure that the claws are resting against & over the Ruby.

 Use your bud bur to clear away any unwanted metal at the post areas.

 Are all of the areas of the pavilian of equal angles to the stonw.
