Making Jewelry with Snap Fit Findings

Step 5 Inspect and Correct any Problems

Hold the earring in your hand or in your bent chain nose pliers and inspect the results.  You may find that one or more prongs isn't set tightly against your gemstone and may need to be pushed down.  Sometimes you will be able to push an individual tab at the end of a prong down with a finger.  You will probably find that using bent chain nose pliers or stone setting pliers will work better.  You can view free instructions on how to use stone setting pliers here.
