Bezel Stone Setting Workshop

Love gems? Love precious metal? Then you are going to love this bezel stone setting class.

You will learn how to design and fabricate a bezel set ring using sterling silver or gold (9kt*). You will learn the basics of designing, hammering, sawing, measuring, sizing, annealing, soldering, filing, and polishing the final piece to display to perfection your stone setting.

You will use the basic stone setting techniques of hand bezel setting tools, files, measuring, burnishing, and finding the true shape of the stone to facilitate getting your desired result. It is so fantastic to show your friends what a fabulous stone you have set in just an afternoon.

Cabochon stones available: Moonstone^, Labarodite^, Aquamarine** , Amethyst^, Crystal^, Rose Quartz^, Lapis^, Prehnite^, Howelite turquoise^, Kingman Turquoise** tigerseye^, Tourmaline**, Peridot**, Emerald**, Ruby** Diamond**are just some of the fabulous rocks we have available in our workshop.

I tend to prefer larger prominent stones, but am happy to use any suitable stone you may wish to reset. Small gems under 1/2 carat aren't advised as focal pieces, due to them not being distinctive enough to make a statement.

^These stones are included in the workshop at no additional charge.

*9kt, 14k or 18k gold is available as an extra embellishment and can be purchased at the workshop.

**These stones are sold by carat weight and can be purchased at the workshop if desired.

This class is a great indoor activity idea for individuals and couples as well as for a birthday or hens party.

This is a fun indoor activity, suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 12 years old). An adult must accompany any attending kids, and must pay for a separate ticket.

This would also be a great Mother's Day gift idea.
