This one-day, intermediate-level class is a perfect next step for jewellers who are already working in wax and want to expand their skills by learning how to carve custom settings for gemstones directly into their designs. Wax carving is a highly versatile technique that allows you to create both organic and geometric forms—often more easily than with traditional metalworking methods. Adding stone settings to your wax models not only elevates your designs but can also save you time and money in production.
During the course, participants will create two simple rings that include settings for 5mm round stones. You’ll learn:
How to design and carve a ring shank or pendant with a cabochon setting
How to design and carve a ring shank with a tube/collet-style setting for a faceted stone
How to repair breakages in wax
How to finish your waxes to a professional standard
