Explore simple four prong basket settings as well as round bezels while creating silver stacking rings
Max. 8 students, ages 15 and up.
Stone setting is an art!! This workshop will give students the opportunity to explore simple four prong basket settings as well as round bezels while creating silver stacking rings. Students will make thin silver rings and solder four-prong settings or bezel cups to the top. Then use burnishers and specialty burs to cut prongs and capture stones. Beginner stone setters can concentrate on bezels while more advanced students can explore four-prong settings.
