Description
Utilize your lapidary and fabrication skills to discover a saddle mount, a mounting technique used to hang a stone in a pair of earrings or a pendant. The look can be sleek and elegant. The mounting is easy and simple to make, allows for more of the stone to be seen than with other styles, and eliminates the weight of bezels, as there are none.
