This article will show you how to set your favored rhinestones properly in the sew on prong settings. And then, most importantly, guide you to find compatible rhinestones quickly for your settings.
Introduction to Sew on Rhinestones
Sew on rhinestones easily produce shinny and dazzling effect under the light, which can make them look attractive and eye-catching. They are popular as beautiful ornaments for clothes, collars, dresses, pants, hats, shoes, handbags, headscarves or other DIY crafts. They are also applicable as the multistrand links for bracelets making.

How to Set Crystal Rhinestones in Sew on Prong Settings
Before starting, please prepare a jewelry plier such as a chain nose plier or round nose plier.
Firstly, place your rhinestones into the claw setting tray.
Secondly, bend the 4 claws to fix the rhinestone tightly.
Thirdly, the 4 holes on the backing are applicable for sewing or stitching. And the flat metal back makes it easy for gluing or soldering.
How to Choose Rhinestones Properly for Prong Settings?
Sew on prong settings are compatible with pointed back rhinestones, not flat back rhinestones. Please remember, it’s the shape and then the tray size of the claw setting that determine what kind of rhinestones cabochons you’re going to choose.

Real Gold Plated Jewelry Findings
Karat Gold - Understanding Gold Purity
1K Gold = 4.166% pure Gold
"K" stands for karat and indicates the percentage of gold in an alloy.
Gold Plated Information
-
Real 18K Gold plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 18k gold
-
Real platinum plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Silver+Nickel+Zinc(Nickel not exceed 0.3%)
-
Real Rose Gold plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Copper+Silver+Zinc
Our 18K gold-plated jewelry is not actually made of 18 karat gold, its base metal is usually brass, zinc alloy, sterling silver, or stainless steel. 18K gold-plated jewelry is created through electrochemical plating or chemical processes that deposit a very thin layer of 18K gold onto the base metal, with the gold layer being as thin as about 0.01 to 0.03 micrometers. Despite its thinness, there is real gold on such jewelry, even if it's just a thin layer of it.
The production principle of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is the same as 18K gold-plated jewelry, it is also created through electrochemical plating or the application of chemicals to deposit a very thin layer of karat gold over the base metal. On our website, in comparison to commonly plated products, the color durability of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is superior.
Real 18K Gold Plated VS Golden Plated
We offer two types of gold-plated jewelry: real gold-plated (12K, 14K, 18K, and 24K) and golden-plated. Below is a brief comparison between real 18K gold-plated and golden-plated items, similar to other real gold-plated pieces.
 Real 18K Gold plated |
 Golden plated |

|---|---|---|
| Color Durability | Usually 6~12 Months | Usually 3~6 Months |
| Karat Gold Layer | About 0.01~0.03μm | Without real gold |

Difference Between Ion Plating (IP) and PVD Vacuum Plating
Difference Between Ion Plating (IP)
and PVD Vacuum Plating
Our stainless steel jewelry undergoes three types of electroplating processes: PVD vacuum plating, ion plating (IP), and water electroplating. Vacuum plating, also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), is a surface treatment technology. This process involves evaporating or sputtering metal or non-metal materials under vacuum conditions and depositing them onto the surface of the object to create a thin film. PVD technology includes various coating methods, with ion plating (IP) being one of them. Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition.
The thickness of the plating layer is influenced by the electroplating process and duration. The longer the plating time, the thicker the layer becomes, resulting in longer color preservation.
Below is a brief comparison of the color durability of Ion Plating, PVD Vacuum Plating, and Water Galvanization.
| Electroplating Process | Feature | Metal Color | Color Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Electroplating | Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal, which means it does not oxidize or tarnish like other metals such as silver or brass. Hypoallergenic. | Stainless Steel Color | Tarnish resistant, retain its color for a long time |
| Vacuum Ion Plating(IP) | The vacuum plating process is complex and requires specific environmental and equipment conditions, making it a green, environmentally friendly technology. The plating is done in a vacuum oven, resulting in longer color retention and a durable coating. |
