Directed Studio Practice: Stonesetting
If you have ever wanted to know more about how to set stones then this weekly class is for you! We'll cover basic open-back bezel mounts. to more elaborate tube bezel settings; as well as prong setting for round, oval, square, trillion, emerald-cut and faceted stones. We will work mostly in silver, but also with some gold settings if desired. Pros and cons of various gold alloys will be discussed and which are best for setting gemstones. Students may bring their own stone settings projects to work on along with any stones, and any silver and gold they may have.
This workshop will not cover pave or illusion settings.
