Structural Stone Set Ring
Instructor: Tom McCarthy – I-A
Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 – 4:00 Jun. 1 & 2
You’ll create a stone setting that “grows” out of a ring band instead of simply floating on top! You’ll make a tapered platform for the setting with bezel blocks and integrate the band to create a ring that makes a big statement. This project will involve hollow construction, using a bezel block, proper ring sizing, refining one’s soldering skills, stone setting tips and design concepts. On top of all of that, it will be fun! Approximate material fee $30.00 depending on the market. I will also have stones available; however, feel free to bring your own stones to use and we’ll see if they will fit.

We will be making beads to quickly explore ideas but the concepts presented are applicable to any scale of work. This will make your jewelry more inviting and visually dynamic.
