This Winter's advanced stone-setting class started this past Saturday at the Lorton Workhouse Arts Center, taught by Dana Evans. We already have some completed projects!
This lovely lapis pendant was Tosha's first stone ever set! She completed the entire project in one class, too! She first measured the bezel wire around the stone and soldered it closed, then soldered that onto the sterling silver back plate. She then shined it up, added a hole and bail and set the stone.
Nicky also completed her first stone-set project. This pretty jasper was set in the same way as Tosha's. How's that for instant gratification!
This is Daphne's 3-stone ring that was completed over the break between classes. A real beauty!
