TOOLS:
Though pretty much all tools are outlined in the Soldering Resource Guide (if you haven't already downloaded, you can do it below), there are a few extra in this module.

Greenlion Studio Jeweler's Saw
Sandpaper
Bench block/anvil
Rubber or cowhide mallet
Flush cutters
03 saw blades for 24g silver sheet metal
Burlife or other oil for saw blades
Stainless Steel t-pins
E-6000 (for securing the crystal point)

SUPPLIES:
(Note: quantities will entirely determine on the type of stones you use. Be sure to measure.)

Centerpiece stone for ring
4 smaller cabs or rosecut gems for adorning sides of center stone
Crystal point with a cut base (so it sits snug inside the bezel)
24g s/s sheet (keep in mind the extra on each side for the smaller gems)
1/4" s/s deadsoft bezel strip wire (32g for the very small stones- for this ring, Susan uses a bezel wire that has teeth cut along one edge to fold over to set the stone)
Your choice s/s or fine silver filigree wire (at least enough to go around your center stone twice, plus enough to go around your crystal point)
Your choice- twisted wire for 2nd layer (enough to wrap around your bezel).
12g deadsoft s/s wire for bail (can use plain wire or decorative)
Thicker s/s wire for ringband- your choice.

NOTE: 24g means 24 gauge. s/s means sterling silver.

NOTE: You can also use copper, bronze or brass instead of silver. If using bronze wire, use jeweler's grade. You can use brass filigree wire- comes in lots of decorative shapes. (remember to use silver solder with silver).
