Sterling Silver Larimar earrings

I found some cute little Larimar stones on etsy, but they were cut as a square. I was a little aprehensive about purchasing these because I had never set a square cabachon. After looking at them for several days I decided to go for it. 

After a little trial and error, here are some of the things that I found helpful when setting a square cabachon. The first was to put the seam in one of the corners. This helps to have a cleaner line, and is just a whole lot easier to set. The second thing I discovered is that you need to file down the bezel at each corner of the stone. To do this I dry fitted the stone and then marked each corner with a sharpie line. Then filed to the marked lines. I would recommend doing a second dry fit before a final setting.
