Spend a day in the workshop learning to create 3 unique sterling silver stacking rings,  2 with gemstones and one plain (textured or polished)! Each ring will be made from a different shape of wire: square, twisted, or half-round. Using bezel and basket/prong setting techniques, students will learn to set a 3 mm gemstone into each ring. Since the stone setting is best practiced on synthetic and lab-created gems, participants can choose from cubic zirconia and synthetic sapphire, ruby, or emerald. These one-of-a-kind rings can be worn as solitaires or stacks. Customize them all for yourself or create them as gifts for your loved ones!
