Design and make your own sterling silver gemstone cabochon ring in this relaxed, beginner friendly class.

In this class, you’ll create a textured sterling silver ring, solder on a cabochon setting and set your own gemstone. Choose from a round or oval setting and a wide variety of gemstone colours on the day. We'll be using the same wire as the gemstone stacking rings so if you've been to the class, you'll be able to wear this ring as part of your stack!

You’ll be guided through each step, learning a range of traditional silversmithing techniques including sizing, cutting, shaping, texturing, soldering, filing, polishing, finishing and how to bezel set a stone.

All tools and materials are included and you’ll have your own professionally equipped jeweller's bench to work on.

Classes are kept small and friendly at just five people ensuring that you'll have plenty of one-to-one support and time for questions.

At the end of the session, you’ll leave with a beautiful gemstone ring to take home and wear, or gift to someone special.

How long is the class?
The class lasts approximately 3.5 hours, including a refreshment break. If your class runs over lunchtime, you’re very welcome to bring along a packed lunch. Or, if you’d prefer something freshly made, the Cornhill Village Shop offers delicious filled rolls, pastries and quiches. Please make sure you visit before the class as the break can be quite short.

Please note that class times are approximate and may run over or finish a earlier, depending on the group.
