Add sparkling faceted gems or rhinestone crystals to your jewelry pieces with our 14Kt yellow gold 4-prong settings.
This versatile 3.4x3.2mm component is a flat-backed 2.5mm cup rising into four recurved prongs that flare outward to hold a 3mm pointed back faceted gem or rhinestone.
To set the stone, gently press in place with the pointed back facing straight down into the cup setting. The prongs will spread out as the stone is pressed down, then 'snap' into place around the outside edge.
Before being set with gems or crystals, gold filled components can be soldered into place with specialized welding equipment. For easier settings, glue in place with strong jewelry epoxy, or embed in epoxy clay, cold-cast resin, or cold enamel.
