Todayโs video is from @gerardi_setting_school showing an engraving technique. - โThis technique is a traditional setting technique, revisited with the pneumatic burin, I used a carbide ongellette n.4,
to a neophyte i suggest to draw a cross, pierce the centre of the cross and then make the triangular prongs
after which you can draw another cross that divides the star created by the prongs into four parts and make the other four points with a clean cut that points towards the centre of the hole
Finally, place the stone and lock it in place directly by dividing the prongs with the beading tool.
And the setting is ready.
๐๐๐ปโ As someone learning engraving I absolutely love this process video. Thank you for letting me share. For anyone interested in engraving, you can learn too! It just takes classes, practice and patience. ๐ #engraving #stonesetting #pneumaticengraving #stonesetting #starsetting
