Master Workshop
Setting cabochon stones in prongs can be a bit challenging, especially when setting high dome stones with sides approaching vertical. Students will build two simple rings and set round cabochon stones in prongs two ways. One stone will be a high dome cabochon and the prongs will be finished as claws. The other stone will be a low dome cabochon and the prongs will be capped as hemispherical surfaces.
