Set for Life: Stone Setting Techniques for Rings

This class centers on the fundamentals of creating stone settings for rings, a practice which requires precision, balance, and craftsmanship. Students will explore the fabrication techniques used to create a variety of settings, from basket to bezel. In addition to basic settings, more complex objects like hollowform rings offer a challenge to those looking to hone their soldering and forming skills. Emphasis will be placed on tools and technique, but also allow for creative experimentation.

Students can expect to spend $100-$125 on materials provided by Pocosin or the instructor. This number is an estimate based on projected student usage, the final amount could be outside of this range.
