We all love Gemstones because of their beauty, brilliance and color. Teach your kids about the vast variety of Genuine Gemsones, mined from the earth, by having them make their own earrings or pendant set with * Real * Gemstones.! They're certain to love, treasure and cherish them...

What is a Snaptite Casting?

Snaptite Castings come in Standard Sizes & are used for Setting faceted  gemstones. Unlike many other Jewelry Settings, Snaptites require No Tools. They're perfect for setting Calibrated gemstones. Calibrated is another name for Standard Size Gemstones.

 

To  make a pair of Sterling Silver Stud / Post Earrings, like  the Photo above, you'll need : ( 2 ) 5MM Round Snaptite Earring Castings & ( 2 ) 5MM Round Swiss Blue Topaz Loose Gemstones.

 

Supplies You'll Need to Make Stud / Post Earrings or Pendants:

  • Stud / Post / Pendant Snaptite Castings in the size of your choice.
  • Loose Gemstones to match the size of your Casting.
  • Example: Purchase (2) 6mm Round Snaptite Earring Castings &  (2) 6mm Round Loose Gemstones.

 

Quick & Easy

2  STEP INSTRUCTIONS for Setting Snaptite Castings.

1. Lay your gemstone face down on a clean, dry, smooth surface.

2. Place the Snaptite Casting directly over the gemstone and

push down gently. 

The Prongs will snap tightly over the gemstone to secure it in place.

 

That's it.! They've now made their Very Own Gemstone Jewelry.!

 

Tip:

For smaller gemstone settings, place the gemstone on a piece of two-faced tape to hold it in place while you're setting the stone. This will help keep it from slipping while you're securing the Snaptite Casting over it.

 

HAVE FUN.!

 

 

Perfect for making Birthstone Jewelry.

(This project is recommended for children ages 5 & Up.)
