I have made a video (8:51). In it i show how to set a brilliant into a plain ring using a burnisher tool. This kind of setting is very safety and quick if it’s done correctly. You can use this kind of setting everywhere you need to have a undamaged surface or where you can’t refinish the surface. I recommend to practice this very often before you do it on a real piece of jewelry.

If there is a red x only, try Firefox. Otherwise you can watch the video here also.

Perhaps you do not see at all what i do while setting. Here are some pictures for a better understanding.
