Sea Glass or Gemstone Ring Studio Experience

Sea Glass or Gemstone Ring Studio Experience

A private studio experience (maximum two participants) with dedicated tuition and sterling silver included.

Spend time at the bench creating your own sterling silver ring set with sea glass or a gemstone in the beCHARLO jewellery studio.

In this more advanced workshop, you’ll learn how to build a bezel setting from silver strip before shaping a ring band and carefully setting your chosen sea glass or stone. You’ll solder, refine and finish the piece before polishing it to a beautiful final shine.

Because each piece of sea glass or stone is unique, the process involves careful fitting and shaping, making this workshop a rewarding step for those who want to develop their jewellery-making skills further.

Sessions are intentionally kept small, either one-to-one or with a maximum of two participants – allowing for plenty of guidance and a calm pace throughout the day.

This workshop is not suitable for complete beginners. Some previous jewellery-making experience, such as a ring or bangle workshop, is recommended.
