We're more than halfway through the summer session at the Workhouse, and we have some gorgeous projects!
This is a set of stack rings by Gwen. Her first stone-set project, too! She created and soldered the bezel for the pearl, and soldered it to a base plate. Then she measured, cut and soldered the ring shank, and soldered that to the back of the bezel. She also created another one to add to the stack. Polished and stone set, they're ready to wear!
These gorgeous feather earrings are by Gayle. She designed the pair, created a template and cut out the silver, textured it, soldered on the earwire, formed them, oxidized and buffed them, and then called them done! Great job!
Daphne's large double pendant was a challenge because of the size of the stones. Soldering the bezels closed alone was an exercise! But she perservered, got the job done, and those stones are the star of this piece. Good work!
These striking earrings by Angie feature lovely oval turquoise cabochons, set in a bezel and soldered onto a 1/2 moon-shaped piece of sterling that's been stamped with a radiating design. They were then oxidized and polished, and earwires created. Nice job, Angie!
