There are many ways to set gemstones, from the understated, minimalist design to more innovative and elaborate solutions. Here, we will explore 14 Creative Gem Settings in Metal Clay, and the common thread will be setting Fire in Place Gemstones and Cultured Opals in the greenware stage of working with Metal Clay. Most of the instructions will be for clays that shrink up to 18%, and I will also share tips for those high-shrinkage clays.
