Step by step instructions
Start by setting the green agate faceted stone in a sterling silver wraptite link setting.
Place the faceted stone face down (flat side down) onto a firm surface such as a magazine placed on your work surface, and apply gentle pressure to 'click' the stone into place (providing the stone is a good fit).
Using a piece of wire to keep the loop open, squeeze to tighten the setting around the stone with the tips of round nose jewellery pliers.
