Sterling Silver Snaptite Settings

These high-quality sterling silver snaptite settings are an extremely popular for setting faceted stones due to their ease of setting. The pre-notched, tensioned claws enable the stone to simply 'snap' into place.  As they are loose settings they are very versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, thread onto a wire to decorate tiaras, thread onto cords to make necklaces and bracelets, glue onto your design using  Devcon epoxy glue or solder onto your design.

• Available in a variety of sizes
• For use with faceted stones
• Very easy to set - For advice on setting snaptite settings, click here
• Prenotched, tensioned claws (means the setting will 'snap' around the stone to hold it in place)
• Supplied without stones so you can choose your favourite from our range of faceted stones
• Can be soldered onto jewellery designs - for soldering tips see below

Tips For Soldering Snaptite Settings

If soldering take care not to overheat the claws, by soldering you may anneal the metal which will effect the tension that keeps the stone in place. Our advice to counter this is to use extra easy or easy solder that requires a lower temperature and if you do find the settings become too soft (annealed) you can tumble polish in a barrelling machine to work harden them again (which will make them easier to securely set the stones in again).
