Stone Setting in Wax Workshop - Pod Jewellery

cast into silver.

The setting styles covered include:

- how to flush set stones into wax, which will then be cast into place.
- creating a bezel setting for a facetted gemstone to be cast in place.
- building an organic setting to fit a raw uncut gemstone, a tumbled stone, a facetted gemstone or a crystal and then setting after the piece has been cast.

On the first half day you work with wax to carve your ring, create your settings or set your stones in wax. The wax rings are then taken to Melbourne to be cast in silver (15 grams of silver and one casting fee is included in the course cost), or gold or platinum (at an additional cost). We gather again for half a day two or three weeks later so you can clean and polish the rings and set your stones.
