Silversmithing: Stacking Rings $100

August 22 @ 11:00 am 4:00 pm

stacking rings

Advance your jewelry skills and learn how to add bezel set stones to your jewelry designs. You will learn how to turn sterling silver wire into a set of stacking rings, which can be worn together or separately. Add a bit of sparkle with a bezel set stone to one of the rings or add your own sterling embellishments. Note: Consumables in the tool list (solder, polishing attachments, for example) must be purchased by each student. Please bring everything on the tool list that you already have – you may borrow the rest – and purchase what you want.
