[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 561218, member: 1916"] Corners will be fragile Pat and will need to be avoided, would think it would scare the pants off a commercial setter unless they centrally locate a single prong or use two per side. When I was cutting it I was thinking I would use it with some metal clay and flush set it. Now it is finished I have been thinking of sliding it into an open sided ring setting with support along the full length of the stone, with a little extra width for making a bead detail for pushing in on the ends to stop it sliding out, although the pushing part sounds risky.
