Class Description:

What could possibly be better than a nice, juicy cabochon ring? Maybe a ring with two juicy cabs in gold bezels? Juicy is a technical term by the way. In this class I’ll teach how to fabricate a sturdy yet elegant open ring with two cabs set in 22k gold with a silver border. I’ll cover fusing 22k, making a tapered ring shank, bezel setting, hammer hand-piece texturing, liver of sulfur patination and many other tips and tricks.

  • 22k gold bezel 26 gauge large and long enough to make bezel settings for cabochons

Instructor Bio:

When Alex Boyd was a young boy he stole an enchanted ring from a powerful bruja.  That night his slumber was disturbed by a tapping at his window. When he slid the window open a huge raven rushed in, flew around the room and perched on his bookshelf. "I know what you have taken from me,"  the raven cawed.  "I don't know what you’re talking about," Alex lied, hiding his bejeweled finger behind his back.  "No matter.  It is your problem now.  The wearer of that ring is indentured to create more talismans of power, either for 1000 years or until he makes something so sublime, so perfect, so beautiful that the spell is broken and he is freed." "1000 years it is," Alex said as he thrust the raven out the window and slammed it shut behind her.  He has been making jewelry ever since.
