WHAT DOES THE DAY INVOLVE?

This class is about getting to grips with Tube Setting. You will have to option to create a pendant or ring - maybe even two pieces if time allows. We will guide you through the process of tube setting where you will be using the Foredom Pendant Motor to cut a seat for your facetted brilliant cut stone. From here you can design and make your pendant or ring, solder your setting in place and then learn the techniques to set your stone.

You will be taken through each stage and there is time to practice settings so your can really understand the process correctly.

We will be working with 4mm round facetted brilliant cut stones. If you would like to bring along your own stones, that is not a problem, we can advise if they are suitable on the day. We will work with Cubic zirconias as they are affordable, strong and perfect while you practice.

Each student has their own fully equipped bench with its own Foredom Pendant Motor.

We have put together a Pinterest Board to show how tube setting can be used within jewellery making.
