24/07/20 Alternative Stone Setting: Modified Bezels -VIDEO ONLY

Recorded Saturday, July 20, 2024 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST  VIDEO AVAILABLE for students until September  20, 2024 Instructor: Jennifer Stenhouse You can create some unique stone settings with fancy or altered bezels. We will show you several alternatives for gallery-wire, creating custom bezels for problem stones, and a great way to begin to approach fancy settings for faceted stones. This can give you many options for decorative embellishments that would not be possible with more traditional bezel settings.  We will begin with creating a frame for the stone. Fancy or altered bezels are a great way to set unusual shapes and larger faceted stones. We will explore decorative custom bezels and gallery wire to create the frame.  Demonstrations will included working with gallery wires, working with different wires, and setting the stone.   Students may work along with their materials or choose to just watch, take notes, and participate in the class.
