There are many different ways to set faceted gemstones, but tube bezel settings are a simple and classic way to securely set round stones. In this workshop, you will create two sizes of minimalist, timeless faceted gemstone rings in sterling silver. You will learn how to solder and shape silver, set stones in a basic tube setting, and then sand and polish for a finished product. This class is great for beginners and those with some silversmithing experience. All materials are provided.
please note
The class cost includes all silver materials and two gemstones of your choice from our standard collection- some of them are natural, and some are lab-grown stones. A few options for premium gemstones will be available for purchase at wholesale cost.
