Stone Set Ring – One Ring – 3 hours

Description

Join us on this fabulous four hour Stone Set Ring workshop, where you’ll make ONE Ring from Sterling Silver. The ring will include a stone, which will be bezel set.

The ring will be made from 1.5mm round sterling silver wire. The bezel setting / stone is 6mm.

You’ll be guided through the whole process of making your rings by your tutor. The day will start with measuring your chosen finger, then you’ll learn how to calculate the length of silver needed for your ring.

You will texture, and saw your metal to size, before shaping and refining, ready to be soldered. Once you’ve soldered and pickled your ring, you will then prepare your bezel setting for soldering. Once all the soldering has been done, there will be further refining and polishing.

Your ring will be ready to wear upon leaving the workshop.

The cost of the workshop is £75 per person and includes the use of tools and all the silver / copper to make your stacking rings.

This workshop will last approximately four hours, but this is an estimate and may be slightly shorter or longer depending upon numbers in the workshop and ability of learners etc.

This workshop is suitable for beginners to silversmithing.

Selection of stone colours available on the day, including: natural prehnite, natural blue jade, natural red jade, natural purple jade, pink oyster copper and turquoise, natural amazonite, pink chalcedony, blue copper turquoise, aqua chalcedony.
