Step into the world of fine jewellery making. In this masterclass, you'll learn the professional technique of bezel setting — the same method used by master jewellers for centuries to mount precious stones — and create your own stunning sterling silver gemstone pendant from scratch.
This is where real silversmithing meets the beauty of natural gemstones. You'll begin with a flat sheet of sterling silver and a strip of bezel wire, and through a series of carefully guided steps, transform them into a polished, professionally finished pendant worthy of any jewellery collection.
You'll learn to measure and cut your bezel strip to fit your chosen stone precisely, form it into a perfect setting, solder it to a silver backplate, trim and refine the edges, and finally set your gemstone with a smooth rubbed-over bezel — the hallmark of quality craftsmanship. Every step is done by your own hands, using professional tools and a jeweller's torch.
Choose your stone from a curated selection of ethically sourced cabochon gemstones — from the soft pink glow of rose quartz to the deep purple of amethyst, the rich green of aventurine, or the mystical shimmer of moonstone. Each stone carries its own character, and your finished pendant will be as individual as the gem at its heart.
Suitable for all levels. Whether you've never picked up a jeweller's tool or you're looking to add bezel setting to your existing skills, you'll receive expert guidance in a small class setting with plenty of hands-on support. Beginners will surprise themselves. Experienced makers will refine their precision.
All materials and tools provided, including sterling silver sheet, bezel wire, your chosen gemstone, a silver chain, and full use of professional workshop equipment.
You'll leave with a beautifully finished pendant around your neck — and the knowledge to create many more.
Duration: 3 hours | All materials included
