Bezel (Rub over) Setting
Class level:
Introductory stone setting workshop, suitable for those with no previous experience and a great taster class for those taking their first steps into jewellery making. All ages over the age of 16 welcome. You are never too young or old to learn a new skill. Outline: An introduction to stone setting jewellery. In this class you will learn how to make a bezel or sometimes known as a rub over setting. The aim is for you to make a piece of jewellery you can be proud to wear, or even to give as a gift. You will be taken through all the steps by our fully qualified tutors to enable you to create either a beautiful pendant, or a ring. At the end of the class you will have learnt all the skills to enable you to continue bezel setting on your own. You will have access to our lovely collection of semi precious gemstones. If you have a favourite cabochon (flat backed gem stone) of your own, that you'd love to set, then you are more than welcome to bring it. If there is a particular stone or shape E.g. 10mm oval moonstone - then let me know, and I'll make sure I have some in stock for you. During this workshop, well start off by selecting your stone. You'll then be shown how to design around your chosen stone - whether it is a ring or a pendant. We do have some examples and templates which you are welcome to use. Once you have designed your piece, you will then be taken through each stage of creating your bezel set piece, by our qualified tutors. You’ll learn to measure the size of your stone and cut out your bezel wall. You will then cut out your back plate in sterling silver sheet. You will then be shown how to solder all your pieces together, before finally polishing your design. The last step is to actually set the stone. This intimate unisex class which is held in our Liverpool workshop, is also a great environment to develop your creativity and do something fun with like-minded people. It also offers the opportunity to make lovely original gifts, and it might even be the start of a new career. |
