Learn to make this beautiful chunky 925 Sterling silver sea glass ring using traditional jewellery techniques. This wonderful class allows you to handcraft your bezel setting from scratch. Learning the craft if setting your sea glass, measuring your bezel and base and soldering your piece together. You will then be able to sand and polish your bezel to a high shine. Sea glass is sourced locally by myself or from well sourced locals. Sea glass originates as pieces of glass from broken bottles, broken tableware, or even shipwrecks, which are rolled and tumbled in the ocean for years until all of their edges are rounded off, and the slickness of the glass has been worn to a frosted appearance. Meaning not one piece is the same and each piece is completely unique to you. You will be working with blue, transparent or green sea glass. For any other colours, please enquire this with Ellie Jade before booking. If you would like to use your own sea glass pieces, please contact Ellie or see the 'Advanced Sea Glass Workshop' The techniques covered in this class will include: Sawing Soldering Annealing Gemstone Setting Sanding and polishing Working with silver Tools and resources How to carry on making silver jewellery after the class and much more… All rings will be ready to wear home!
