Description
Want to learn a new way to elevate your designs? Spend the day being taught how to set a faceted stone in to a tube setting.
What will I learn?
In the morning you will learn how a tube setting a faceted stone works and be taught how to set a faceted cubic zirconia (CZ) in to a copper tube. The stones will be a max of 3mm diameter. We will discuss tools, techniques and ways to add this type of setting to your designs.
You can then move on to setting your own stone into your own design. Silver will be at cost price during the workshop and CZ stones can be purchased from the selection – these stones are typically under £2 each. If you wish to bring your own semi-precious stone or set in gold I can advise on sizes and suppliers but I don’t hold these in stock.
