Gemstone setting practice – silver earrings
This workshop guides you through the process to set cabochon gemstones into a pair of stud earrings. Using pre-made silver stud earrings, you will learn how to set a gemstone (approx. 6mm diameter) into each earring and then polish the setting.
This workshop is designed for you to learn about setting cabochon stones and, as we use pre-made settings, does not cover making the silver setting. The workshop is designed to be suitable for beginners as well as for those who have previous experience of jewellery making. The project is ideal for you to practice at home after the workshop, guidance will be given throughout the session on the tools and equipment you would need.
You can choose whether to make your earrings with either a red/pink synthetic ruby stone or a purple/blue cubic zirconia Tanzanite stone, you will need to make this choice when you book the workshop.
The gemstones used will be similar to the ones used in the Asymmetrical Stone Set Ring and the Silver Pendant – Cabochon Stone Setting Practice workshops, this workshop gives you the opportunity to make a matching pair of earrings if you have already attended one of the other workshops.
Cost: £60 per person - includes materials and equipment use.
Skill Level: Suitable for beginners.
