9 Stone Ruby Cluster Ring Instruction - Solder shank on

Solder shank on the basket.

This is a dainty traditional cluster ring setting with one center gemstone and nine smaller surrounding gemstones.

I chose to use 9 stones because firstly, that is the number that fitted around the center stone and in real life, working in a jewelers workshop, often the customer will have X amount of stones and such and such center stone and you will have to make it. So the option of making a ring with six or eight stone is not possible.

First the gallery prongs are filed out and a basket made, before adding the center collet.
