Silversmith a Ring with a Faceted Gemstone

In this 2-meeting class, learn silversmithing and stone setting skills while making a sterling silver ring with a faceted gemstone! No experience required! You’ll set a sparkling 5mm cubic zirconia on a silver ring you create with a tube setting, which is a type of bezel setting for a faceted gemstone.

Please plan on attending both nights of this class – if you miss one you will not be able to complete your ring!

If you're interested in using the Artisans Asylum Jewelry Shop on your own as a member, you will need to take our separate Jewelry 101 class.

The materials fee for this class is $60. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts payments in Cash.
