Create a ring you'll never want to take off. In this masterclass, you'll learn the art of bezel setting and ring making — combining two essential silversmithing skills to handcraft a stunning sterling silver gemstone ring from raw materials to finished piece.
This is proper jewellery making. No shortcuts, no kits, no pre-made components. You'll start with sterling silver sheet, bezel strip, and ring band wire, and through expert-guided techniques, create a ring that looks and feels like it came from a professional jeweller's bench — because that's exactly where it was made.
You'll learn to size and form your ring band, shape and solder your bezel setting, attach the bezel cup to the band with precision soldering, and set your chosen gemstone with a clean rubbed-over edge. Along the way, you'll build confidence with a jeweller's torch, master the art of filing and finishing, and bring your ring to a beautiful polish on the wheel.
Choose your centrepiece from a curated selection of ethically sourced cabochon gemstones — the deep blue of lapis lazuli, the warm purple of amethyst, the delicate blush of rose quartz, the ocean-green of aventurine, or the ethereal glow of moonstone. Your stone, your ring, your creation.
This masterclass goes deeper. You'll walk away not just with a finished ring, but with a genuine understanding of how fine jewellery is constructed. The skills you learn here — soldering, forming, setting, finishing — are the foundation of everything in silversmithing.
Open to all abilities. This workshop is suitable for beginners with no previous jewellery making experience. The workshop allows participants to learn basic techniques and skills to create their own silver ring with a bezel set stone.
During this workshop you'll learn techniques such as measuring, ring sizing, texturing, forming, soldering and finishing techniques to create your own unique ring in silver before soldering a ready made bezel. You will then learn how to set your chosen cabochon gemstone using traditional techniques.
The ring making techniques will be practised roughly in copper to allow for experiment and play before going on to create one ring in sterling silver with a bezel.
Duration: 3 hours | All materials included
