starting point.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will make a silver
ring, attach it to your chain, add a bezel cup for a small gemstone, and finally you will learn to polish
your completed jewelry using affordable and approachable tools and techniques.
Soldering attachments to a fine chain is an art, and you will learn techniques to control the solder flow
and to protect your chain from the heat of the torch.
You may supply your own gemstone, but it must be a calibrated 5 mm flat back cabochon stone, and it
should not be too fragile. I do reserve the right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
You will construct the necklace from chain and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, stone setting, and polishing.
All tools are provided, but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. 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!
