Metal Bezels in Wax | Jewelry Focus

Class Description

Hone your jewelry skills to bridge the gap between wax working and metal fabrication in this 8 session project based course. 

Combining the volume and intricacy that wax working more easily affords, with the crisp accuracy of metal fabricated gemstone settings, you’ll learn how to achieve exact detail for a cleaner, brighter bezel than when using wax alone. 

Projects: Design two pendants - one that incorporates a round cabochon, and another that utilizes a faceted oval stone. 

This course is designed for work in silver, although techniques can be applied to other metals. As this is an intermediate level course students must have basic jewelry fabrication skills, including soldering. Prior wax carving experience is preferred.

Class size 4 – 12 students.

All students receive a 50% discount on hourly bench rentals throughout the duration of their course.
