About
With a flush setting, a gemstone is set directly into the metal so that its top surface is level with or "flush" with the surrounding metal. A flush setting creates a durable, low-profile setting less likely to snag or get damaged.
You'll learn how to achieve that, as well as how and why to use different types of setting burrs and how to use GRS (Glaser, Robert & Sons) stone-setting equipment — a range of professional tools known for their precision, durability, and ergonomic design — vs. other methods.
