Here is a tutorial on doing a flush/gypsy setting from @thediamondsetter⁣

“The only thing you need is an old bur that is transformed into a burnishing tool. Just cut off the head and use a diamond polishing wheel and form a cone with an angle of 90 degrees.⁣

Use a ball bur to create the seat of the diamond. ⁣

Rule number one - Stone size = Bur size. ⁣
If you have a 1.3mm Brilliant start with a 0,9mm drill, and open up the hole, step by step to 1.3mm. Now you just have to remove the edge with a big ball bur. Set the stone in place and with slight pressure go around the stone. Turn the piece and not the burnishing tool to create the perfect brightcut.”⁣

Thank you for sharing this with us! I love videos that help with stonesetting.⁣
