Dennis uses a few different tools to cut the seat for the stone. The seat is essentially a small notch that is carved into the inner surface of each prong.

Dennis works on the hand fabricated elements, measuring out the leaf detail to fit within the opening.

With skilled precision, he deftly employs pliers to delicately secure the stone in place, gently squeezing the tips of the prongs over the top. This technique ensures a lifetime of secure and worry-free wear.

When your gemstone is placed onto this seat, it helps to hold it firmly in place, preventing it from shifting or becoming loose over time.

Dennis uses a wax dop to delicately lower the stone into the setting.
