The ring as a functional object is a primary component in jewellery making. This is one area where setting of stones takes on a wide variety of forms. Many systems of fabricating a setting for cabochon-cut stone are used. The basic types were explained and demonstrated in BJDT354. 

Lecturer: Kwabena Asomaning

This course is a continuation of BJDT 354 and it seeks to introduce students to cabochon-cut stones which are available in wider cut types. They can be purchased ready-cut in a variety of shapes and standard dimensions. It also seeks to introduce students to faceted stones which have surfaces that are cut into a systematic geometric shape in relation to the crystal structure of the particular stone.
