Its been on my mind for a while to make a 5 claw collet. I have only made 1 in my entire career and it was a tiny little thing. I have wanted to do a good size one for years and finally I did it.
5 claws is a little awkard for placing in line with shanks but alone it works perfectly well perhaps even more so than 4 and 6 claws?? There is no reason why normal collets can not be placed next to it or maybe 3 claw set stones around it as a cluster may work well? My intuition suggests there is great untapped potential for new designs here.
At first it may seem strange but make one and in so doing spend lots of time looking at it then you will find actually it makes sense and can be a great idea for a stone setting.
No one seems to be making them its an opportunity to start something new ;)

Calling for new patrons!
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level usually found in High Street jewellers workshops.
Become a classic patron and you will not only be able to view part 2 of full instructional guides but also be thanked personally on the next youtube upload! You will also have access to all future uploads 2 weeks before they go live on youtube.
Official patrons have all the benefits of a classic patron but also gain access to regular exclusive content. Behind the scenes, personal jewellery projects Im working on, I share ideas for future videos, photos and stories from throughout my career as a professional jeweller.
Also Official patrons are welcome to suggest ideas for future videos and contact me anytime if they need advice for their own jewellery making endeavors.
Classic patronage is just £5 a month and to become an Official patron costs only £10 a month making Diamond Mounter patronage by far the best value way to gain access to online jewellery making courses.
As the number of full instructional guides continues to grow the value will be even more considerable.

I watched and reacted to Bobby Whites 3ct D flawless ring video from a while ago. An incredible stone! How he made the ring was misleading though.

Life is short. So with this in mind chose the highest quality micromotor I could find. The Nakanishi Espert 500 with the high torque motor and most expensive foot pedal in the catalogue.

A relatively easy full instructional guide to make a nice circular pendant.
It has a rub over setting for the center stone and pave setting smaller stones around the outside.
I made it in as simple way as possible with a flat back so it will be as easy as possible to make a gallery edge wire to fit on the back.
A gallery wire is a decorative edge that serves a purpose not just to enhance the design but it adds strength also. When fitted with a day light space between it and the piece then it also enables light to entre the stones from behind which will allow them to look their best while the piece is being worn.
This pendant was made as an introduction to making and fitting gallery wires so I decided to solder it flat to the pendant. There is no day light gaps this time.
Lets try a more advanced shape and gallery design next time!

This channel has potential to grow in to a great archive of jewellers knowledge with your help.
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops.
I have been lucky enough to have been taught by actual Bond Street jewellers model makers and my ambition is to share what I have learned through out my career to as many people as possible.
My vehicle to do this is the Diamond Mounter YouTube channel and now after nearly 1 year of uploading video guides, its time to take it up a level.
My ambition is to be able to make instructional videos with not just silver, but gold and platinum also. Some proper jewellers soldering equipment will enable me to create much more special pieces too. This will open up a whole new world of information I have to share.
There are many specific methods and techniques used for the different precious metals and knowledge about gemstones I can teach that will never enter my videos unless I am actually working with them.
