- Begin by watching the video: How to Use Crystal Clay.
- Based upon what you learned in the video, put on your gloves and mix up a gum ball size amount of black Crystal Clay. Roll it into a round shape.
- Place your mixed crystal clay into the bezel setting of your antique silver ring finding. Gently mold it into the setting making sure it spreads out to all the sides and forms a dome in the middle.
- Using the beeswax tipped toothpick that came with your Crystal Clay kit, pick up chatons one by one and place them into the clay. Try and get them as close together as possible without overlapping. If you are unsure how to pick them up with a pick, please watch the video on How to Use the Magical Pick because it uses the same technique. I recommend starting at the center point with a large chaton and working your way around. See photo.
- At this point, use your fingers to push the clay up around the bezel of the ring and also press down on the clay to smooth it all around.
- Let your ring cure overnight and enjoy.
