Crystals and cabochons are easily transformed into easy-to-use pieces with these claw settings. Place the crystal onto the rim of the setting and push down the prongs to hold it in place. The setting has 4 holes, transformng your rhinestone into a sew-on component.
Sold per pkg of 10 settings.
Designed for 13x18mm big oval Preciosa crystals, but will fit other rhinestone models and cabochons of this size if they are not too high. Hole size: 1-1,2mm. Material: steel-colored brass.
Please note: these settings are not regular jewelry findings, the metal is not free from nickel and should not be worn directly on skin. Use them as intended, sewn onto any kind of foundations.
Use nylon jaw pliers or a small, flat wooden spatula (ice cream stick) to bend the prongs over the crystal. Regular metal jaw pliers can damage your crystals, especially if you work with surface treated colors like AB or metallic. Don't push too hard, just until the prongs are down and hold the rhinestone in place. Too much pressure can chip your crystal or deform the setting.
If you want to use your crystal as a sew-on component, you may find it easier to sew the setting onto the foundation first, before you fasten the crystal.
Nickel safe
