Day 1: Jewelry Introduction

This class will introduce you to basic soldering techniques and the torch, joining seams together to create 3 to 4 sterling silver rings. We will learn to size, shape, texture, sand and polish the rings creating 3/4 finished rings. These rings can be stacked and one or two will be used for the stone settings coming up. This project will open up the studio space for your membership and further exploration and advanced classes in metalsmithing. 

Day 2: Bezel Setting

We will set a cabochon stone onto one of the ring bands. Learn how to frame a stone in silver and solder to a back plate and onto one of the previously made ring bands, Assorted cabochons will be available to choose from for your ring design.

Day 3: Tube Setting

We will set a faceted gem onto one of the ring bands. Learn how to cut and "seat" a faceted gem into a tube of sterling silver and solder to a back plate and/or right onto one of the previously made ring bands adding a sparkle to a set of stacking rings or a solo ring. Assorted colored gems will be available to choose from for your ring design.
