A Millgrain wheel is a petite, decorated wheel that leaves a trail of miniature balls when rolled along a sharp edge of metal.

 Give customers a traditional craftsperson touch

 The Millgrain effect is a very popular method for decoration especially on wedding rings and bangles

 Our range of Millgrain wheels are made from carbon steel and are of the female ‘raise effect” which leaves an indented pattern

 Can be used both in a hand tool and on a lathe

 Cousins also supply beading tools which will create the same effect but the pattern would be completed one stage at a time opposed to the advantageous roller motion created by the millgrain wheel (please see the illustration)

 A millgrain wheel is a perfect time saver, allowing you to form a train pattern in a fraction of the time it would take with a graver

Gemstone setting as a craft has evolved through thousands of years of jewellery making. One of the most rewarding and intricate professions to develop from this diversication is that of the gemstone setter.

Gemstone setting and mounting techniques are used for xing stones in items of jewellery. Mounting refers to the construction of the metal parts of jewellery, including the supports for the stones. The supports are called setting mounts or collets. Setting is the technique of easing metal over the stones to hold them in place.

A gemstone is kept in place by the adjacent metal, which prevents both sideways and up-

and-down movements. The types of gemstone and the desired nish dictate the style of the setting, but, whatever the setting, there must be enough metal and adequate strength to secure the stone.

In the jewellery trade, mounting and setting are separate tasks, and both take time for beginners to master. The small pieces of metal used in these processes are initially difcult to handle, but the task soon becomes easier as the jewellers adjust to small-scale work.

We at CousinsUK have a very comprehensive range of hand tools and equipment perfect for the beginner as well as maintaining high standards for the professional setter.
