Ruby Snaptite Earstuds
Use July's birthstone to create a beautiful gift in seconds! Our sterling silver snaptite earstud settings are so easy to set and perfect for beginners, making them so popular.
Step by step instructions
Place the faceted ruby stone face down (flat side down) onto a firm surface such as a magazine placed on your work surface.
Place the mount over the stone and apply gentle pressure to 'click' the stone into place.
(Star shaped snaptite settings are slightly trickier to set, so you may find a stone holder helps. The claws should sit on the points of the star).
Check that the claws are firmly in place - it may be necessary to gently adjust the claws to ensure a secure fit.
