JEWELRY DESIGN
Bezel Setting without Soldering
By Sulie Girardi
Description
(including techniques & materials) Artists who are new to jewelry making often wish
to incorporate cabochon stones into their work, but find soldering intimidating. In this workshop
you will make a pendant of your own design out of fine silver metal clay. You will learn a trick to
anchor fine silver bezel wire securely into the pendant, so that after firing you can set the stone
of your choice: no soldering required.
Contact Information: Vienna-expressions-studio@gmx.at
Special Notes or requirements: students should bring a pair of fine tweezers
