Rivoli and chatons edging with a claw pot
Tips: What tool to use? You need a sturdy tool with a rounded end. The rounded side of a pair of tweezers or the handle of a teaspoon is especially good. Do not use sharp objects, because you could scratch the surface of the stone. How should the stone be placed in the kettle? The stone should rest on the top edge of the cauldron. The silver foil of the Swarovski stone and the edge of the cauldron should form a line. If the stone falls into the cauldron and cannot rest on the rim, the cauldron is too large. If the stone protrudes over the edge of the cauldron and cannot be fitted properly, the cauldron is too small. The stone does not seem to fit into the kettle If you have difficulty fitting the Swarovski stone into the kettle even though it is the right size, the claws are not bent up far enough. Bend the claws back a bit and the stone can be placed in the cauldron without any problems. The stone lies crooked in the bowl In order for the stone to lie optimally in the bowl, it must lie straight in the bowl before setting. When bending the first claw, do not exert too much pressure on one claw. Otherwise, the stone may become misaligned and be pushed up on the opposite side. The better you fix the stone in the center of the setting with your thumb, the straighter the stone will remain.
You will need a Swarovski stone and a claw pot of the appropriate size.
Place the stone in the boiler. The stone should rest on the upper edge of the kettle.
Fix the stone with your thumb.
Use the flat side of a pair of tweezers to push the first claw over until it lies flat on the stone.
The first claw is bent over.
Now bend the opposite claw. This fixes the stone evenly in the boiler.
Then bend the third and then the fourth claw.
Finally, the stone is securely fixed in the boiler by four bent-over claws.
