Flush Setting Workshop

Have you wondered how to set faceted stones – including the little tiny ones – flush with the surface of your jewelry designs?

In this “step-by-step” workshop we look at incorporating stone setting techniques into jewelry design, and learn Gypsy (flush) setting technique.

This modern looking setting is very comfortable to wear, has a wonderful stylistic look, and provides many design options – from using little tiny sparklers set randomly in the surface of a piece, to even placing gemstones set on the sides of a bezel for a larger stone.

Stones and ring samples will be provided for this workshop – we will learn how to measure the stones, which drills to use, how to create a bearing (seat) for the stone, and even how to make your own tool for setting.
