TrendSetter Wheel for Bead Settings

Created by Blaine Lewis, renowned jeweler and founder of New Approach School for Jewelers, the TrendSetter™ wheel is an innovation that allows you to practice setting stones without having to stop and set up an individual mounting for each stone. Using the wheel, you can set one stone after another by slightly adjusting the wheel in your clamp to bring the next setting on the wheel into position. This wheel, cast from a combination of brass and bronze, is designed for bead settings with 11 individual settings and includes 11 round 4mm CZ gemstones to use for practice. Widely recognized as the premier diamond-setting instructor in the U. S. today, and founder and director of New Approach School for Jewelers, Blaine Lewis has taught more than 5,000 stone-setting and metalsmithing students and continues to produce instructional videos and to serve as an active consultant to the jewelry industry.
