In this hands-on workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of creating a single-stone channel setting, a valuable skill that can be incorporated into rings, pendants, bracelets, and other jewelry designs.

Instructor Debra Carus will demonstrate how to accurately prepare and measure the setting as well as the techniques used to securely seat a stone between parallel walls of metal without the use of prongs. Students will gain an understanding of proper stone fit, metal preparation, and finishing techniques that contribute to both the beauty and durability of the finished setting.
