Tip for creating wax stone settings from @sophie.cunliffe.jewellery -
“✨️Here’s a simple technique I use to make the base for accurate size stone settings in wax for carving. This technique was developed whilst having a bit playtime at the bench. I will always question technique and always dedicate time to play. When it goes right, it’s proper good feels 💃 when it goes wrong, it’s learning 😉. This went right, so I thought I’d share it for anyone interested in the wax carving process.” Thank you Sophie, I love how generously people in our community share some of their techniques. Knowing it will help others ❤️ grateful for your share.
