I love your attitude. You have just enough of a sense of humor to keep the video entertaining while not obstructing the learning

Unlike some demanding rude folks (down below 'eyes roll') who don't 'have no manners' I would like to thank you Nancy for taking the time to make these tutorials!

Thank you, Nancy. It is fun to watch you and learn from you. I admire your jewelry.

Great tute, as all your tutorials always are. Your vocabulary and explanations are clear and inspiring! Thank you for making all of them!

I'm going to start calling you Dr. Hamilton. Every time I watch your videos I laugh uproariously :) It's good medicine to laugh. Thank you so much for the laughter and the instruction. You make me actually believe I can do this!

I am a beginner jewelry maker. I want to thank you for your time and humor.

Heart bur... heart bur... yeah, I used to get that. Prilosec! Fixed me up. We really do learn things from your vids, in addition to being entertained. Great to see ya back! Thanks!

Thank you Nancy!!! The information you provided was so much more detailed than I got in another video. I appreciate your video instructions so much!

Nancy, I just found your videos and I love them all! You get right to the point and you always make me smile. So glad I found you on here!!!!Linda Grandstaff

Thank you, Nancy. I love your videos and your production staff. And the fact that after watching you I don't get as frustrated at myself for dropping everything!

Thank you very much Nancy for all the time and effort, love the humour, that you put into such informative tutorial videos. Glad I found your channel

You may be my spirit animal. 🤣 So grateful for your tutorials and character. I’m just getting started and you’re helping to make this easier. Thank you!!!

Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for sharing all your in-depth stone setting techniques!

First of all, I think I love you! You are the most interesting person I’ve ever watched on KZread. Thank you for your vids. I’m an aspiring jeweler and your words of wisdom really help.

Quite an adventure, with much to learn from on the way. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Nancy.

As usual YOU ROCK! Thank you again! If you were in my area I would SO love to learn more from you!

Dear Nancy , I have been working precious metals in UK for many years but there is always something new to learn ( sometimes for fun , sometimes for the ridiculous repairs and remodelling I get asked to do) You are the very best of instructors… thank you so much for your wonderfully clear and conscience videos and sharing your excellent knowledge & experience ( ie if it does this you can do that ….covering so many eventualities that only a pro would know ) Your videos are Pure Gold to any serious Jeweller or smith . You have taught me heaps , Thank you from the bottom of my ❤

You are such a hoot! Thank you for the added personality and, of course, the instruction.

Nancy , you're the best, in that I love the humor. What a joy to watch. Thanks Much

You're awesome! I've learned a lot from watching your videos. I'm inspired to now go from 'hobby' and 'gift maker' to trying out a booth at the next local festival. Thank you!

Thankyou Nancy for your videos, your knowledge and especially your wit. It takes your videos from ordinary to extraordinary. Keep up the good work. From Down Under.

Your spontaneous transformations amuse me. Also thanks for the vid!

Thank you for making this tutorial. You are entertaining and have a great personality. I learned a lot.

Thank you Nancy. You are awesome. And I like it when you suddenly hum a tune or two... :) cheers.

Brilliant! Thank you Nancy from the UK.

you are " da best "! mahalo for taking your time to show us how its done!!!

This was sooooooo helpful, as per usual. Thank you, Nancy!

I'm so glad I found you ... very informative and funny to boot ...thank you

really good, clear and concise. You can also choose to make four incisions with a very pointed hardened object (that looks very similar to an engraving chisel) proportinally measured to have a steady set stone.

You are amazing Nancy! An inspiration to me!

Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! You are the best!!!!

The most sweetest lady :D I love your video! Thank you for shearing vid and hello from Finland ;)

I read the comment before watching your vid and I kept seeing that you were funny. They weren’t lying your hilarious as well as informative thank you!

brilliant suggestion on the stocking/vacuum

I searched for flush stone setting, and I'm so glad. I was loving the tutorial, and the dry humour was first class...go Wonder Woman!!

Thank you for the informative video, Nancy 👍 Enjoyed the humour as well 😄

Really detailed process , thank you for explaining it for us!

I've been doing pewter work for a few years and am starting into harder metals. I love your videos, they're helpful and entertaining!

An excellent video i learned a lot of information, thank you so much for posting this

Great tutorial. Thank you!

Thanks for this video. I am a self taught designer of one of a kinds. I need to move up and start first by resetting some stones that I have saved for years.

Great video as always Nancy! I recently took a class on Flush Setting and wish I would have watched this first!

👍 thanks for sharing! Very helpful. I have a stainless band that I want to set some 2mm çz in. I was thinking of a modified bead type setting.

I absolutely love your channel. Your direct and humorous approach is refreshing. Don't change a single thing. Best Jewelry making channel out there.

You are too funny, had a few giggles. Thanks foe the tutorial!

I love you, you’re hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 as well as a great teacher ❤️

I think you are so freaking hilarious and I have learned so very much from watching your very well informed and entertaining videos! (Talk about a runnnn oooonnn sentence 🙄🤣🤣🤣)ANYWAYS...I hope you know how much people really appreciate your tutorials?! Please keep it up cuz I for one am a fan n couldn’t afford to pay someone for all the education you give in just one of your videos! So I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! God Bless n don’t chg a thing! Your just hilarious n really know your stuff! 🥴🥴

thanks for taking the time to make this, I was hoping someone would. I have no trouble setting cabs, but for some reason a bit intimidated by the faceted stuff, but as a "native american" themed jeweler, it's hard to break out of turquoise and coral for some, I don't see whats non native about setting a nice tourmaline next to a sky blue sleeping beauty cab, and it costs alot for the DVDs from Rio Grande, thank you

Thanks for the great video.

Nice, great tutorial for beginners, thank you,

Thank you for EXIST IN SHOW AND ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL WORKS. a hug ...

Great fun video again. Great info. Wish I could set those 2mm stones....but, that's okay. I have Macular Degeneration (yup the doc shoots me in the eyes every month) and a bit of a torn retina, so I stick with the bigger stuff. Still its an excellent video no matter the size and I learned some great new techniques. :) Thanks so much Nancy.

awesome video thank you

I was thinking that if you ever retired, you could always put your work shop online, you have about 5 times more tools and supplies that Rio. :-) Thank you so much for posting this. I have learned so much from you and I always recommend you to others! Tommy

Tommy Ward, Sell her tools? Sacrilege ;) I often wonder what will happen to my array of tools, a lot of which are self made bespoke, when I'm gone. Best not to think too much about that. She's a great inspiration and that's coming from a tinker for over 30 yrs. 41 Dislikes.? Pffhhh!

It’s exciting to see after cataract surg. Colors

What a great video Nancy, very easy to understand.....you cleared all my doubt about burs and their uses, so AWESOME. Thanks a LOT !!!!!!!!!

I am all for re-purposing old tools into new tools. I have found that many of these old grinding stone mounts are chrome plated and you will need to use a bench grinder to get through the chrome. No need to ruin a good file trying to file chrome.

I like her rings!

Excellent drmo

Thank you for being so full of good information and laughs--really enjoyed the video!

Ty very much

Great video thanks Nancy. The tip about the stocking over your vacuum has saved me a lot of money (and time) Regards, fellow over 40'something'

great..!

great video....thank you...:)

Thanks so much for this video - I've learned so much from it :-) Thanks, too, for all your good humour (see that spelling? I'm English . . . )

Love your videos Nancy. I've been reading and studying about flush setting faceted stones. Your video put all the missing pieces and tips together for me. Just set my first 1.5mm cz tonight. And hey, the stone didn't fall out! I REALLY appreciate your approach which was so through. Now I need to work on making the edges more tidy. Any suggestions appreciated. You are awesome! Thanks So much!

YAY!! Finally someone who can demo a flush set without their fingers covering up the burnishing part! BRAVO!!!!! Hey Nanc.. exactly what are the polishing "points" that fit your flex shaft you showed breifly to clean up the scratch marks and where do i get them?-- Also Is it true you can set the stone with just one bur if you use a heart bur?

relaxnow I use the Dedeco Sunburst polishing pins, and got them from RioGrande.

thanks you .

sometimes if you run the burr backwards it wont cut too much = but go slow and be careful = great video and thank you !

So if your stone falls out......guess I cut to large. More practice needed. Thanks for this video, Nancy.

Wow! That was a TON of information! Entertainment that my brain will not forget! Thanks so much!

Yeah now I can watch it :)

Thanks so much. I love you sweet master

Very good. Thanks forever. Cat lovers are nearly always the best people. (just as an aside)

Great video. where can you find polishing pins?

Thanks for this tute! I have a question, I have seen other smiths using silver balls with flush set stones around their large bezel set stones, do you have to drill all the way through those?

Hi, is the stone zircon or diamond ? cause when i use flush set pressing around the stone becomes scritch on the zircon .. i do not have diamond only zircon and moissanit .

Do you know why when I do this the drill bit either stoops the drill spin or when I go faster it just scratches and bounces even when I use a proper vice to hold it still sometimes when it does the hole it almost jams the thing. I use a dremal 3000

Thanks a lot for the video !! But wat can we do if the stone is oval??? Please, please!! Thanks in advanse!!

How can I get those bits I can't find them in any market near neither in online..? Thank you for free teaching lesson Totally appreciate

i love you!!! You're so funny! very helpful video thank you!

Hi Nancy!thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free.I am a beginner and self-taught and your videos are very helpful (and fun too!)I have a question about calipers : I need a digital one but I am confused, what's a fair price for a decent digital caliper?I saw a lot of them online, all similar to each other but some of them are very expensive and some are very cheap! Maybe too much to be some accurate tools.... so I need a professionist's opinion! Thanx again and cheers from Italy!

Thanks for the laugh. I wasn't expecting that.

Спасибо!!!!

P.s. Who is that lady with the hat! Snap!! Thank you, Nancy! I'll look for the upcoming vid with hart burs. Cheers!

Nancy, where do you get that giant hunk of beeswax? Please and thank you.

I did it! I got snap! Yay!!

PLEASE advise what size or type of bur set would be good to get started? Is there a general set? So many options and very expensive as you said.

What would be the best way to set a round ruby over 5mm? I'd buy my ruby from GemsNY. It's a mens ring, if that makes any difference.

I may have to try the vacume thing. I do not set many stones as I just restore old jewelry and I buy bags of stones from time to time and I know I have dropped quite a few outh threw the years. now I am not so worried about the rubies and diamonds and so on but I would like to find my opals I have dropped as opal is expensive not cheap like other stones.
