Bezel Set Gemstone PendantFebruary 4, 10:00am - 4:30pmStone Setting Class By Vilina HutterClass Fee: $100.00Kit Fee: $150.00
Skill Level: All
In this class, you will learn how to create a bezel set gemstone pendant in silver using just a butane
torch--simple equipment you can safely use at home.
This class is a full six hours so that a small group (enrollment is limited to eight) of students can be
carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a sophisticated
piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire
pendant, including the bezel, the background texture, and the bail. You may supply your own gemstone,
but it must be a flat back cabochon stone, and it should not be too big or too fragile. I do reserve the
right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing. All tools are provided, but will be
affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. Using a custom fabricated bezel, you will
also add a cabochon gem to your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to
suspend your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all
my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.
