Solder crown collet to shank.

This golden oldie crown collet design is evergreen, remaining popular to this day. The elegance of a well-balanced crown collet in a solitaire setting is strikingly beautiful.

This crown collet is made with 6 prongs. The key to a well-made crown collet is that minimum amounts of solder must be used, to avoid flooding the collet profile causing unnecessary clean up.
