About

Do you want to add colorful stones to your jewelry and improve your fabricating skills? In this class, you'll learn how to wrap and solder bezels, fabricate a ring, and set at least one round or oval cabochon stone. You'll spend most of the time learning about and making settings that will fit your stones. Once you've made the settings, you'll learn how to secure the stones.

This is the first in a stone-setting class series. As the prerequisite for some of the classes that follow, this class introduces you to basic stone-setting concepts, tools, and soldering techniques that will be used and built upon throughout the series.
