Engraving Chisel for Jewelry Making, 1.5mm Tip Width, No. 18

This is a graver for stone setting.
It is used to raise the prongs from all four sides after the stone has been set.

The tip angle is slightly more obtuse than a regular graver for engraving.
This is to prevent the raised prongs from breaking off at the edge of the metal.
Please refer to the 5th illustration image.

★The prong raising in the sample image uses a stone-setting graver with a tip width of 1.5mm and a #12 beading graver for creating beads.
The size of the prongs also changes depending on the jeweler's strength, so the appropriate size of the beading graver will vary.
Please refer to the 4th and 5th illustration images.
When rounding the prongs, use a beading graver slightly larger than the prong.
If it is too small, the edge of the bead will protrude and look messy.

★To round the prongs and create beads, you will need a commercially available beading graver and a graver handle.

You can use this as is, but
the cutting edge will become dull and difficult to engrave with use.

We recommend that those with knowledge and skills in graver shaping and polishing
consider purchasing this item.
