Description
This sterling silver cabochon ring mounting features a slightly offset tapered split shank and detailed leaf-shaped accents that serve as prongs and augment the cab mounting; the mounting holds one 14 x 10mm (approx.) oval cameo, cabochon, or other flat-back stone. Cabochon mountings feature a flat, sometimes open, base and raised edges with two to four prongs that hold a cameo or cabochon securely in place. Set your cameo or cabochon into the mounting, then burnish the prongs over the stone to secure it in place.

Please Note:
• Although the prongs on this ring are designed to hold the stone in place, we recommend using jeweler's epoxy to secure your stone in the setting as an additional level of security.
• After setting your stone(s) in this mounting, finish or polish as necessary to complete your ring.
• IMPORTANT: Sterling silver is an alloy containing metals that react with chemicals found in air and produce tarnish; high moisture levels, exposure to sunlight and contaminants such as salt water increase this reaction. Take steps to protect your sterling findings by keeping them in airtight packages, use tarnish-resistant products (such as tarnish tabs or strips) that absorb harmful chemicals, and store sterling findings in a cool, dry place. Most tarnish is easily removed by polishing with a mild abrasive or soaking in an anti-tarnish solution.
