Lapidary and Metalsmithing Combo

Start with a rock. Leave wearing jewelry.

Two classes in one session. You'll cut and polish your own cabochon in the first half, then build a sterling silver setting for that exact stone in the second. Nothing you take home came off a shelf.

What you'll learn

• The full lapidary process: cutting, shaping, and polishing a cabochon
• Designing a setting around a stone you just made
• Fabricating that setting in sterling silver
• Bezel setting a stone that isn't a standard size, because yours won't be
• Finishing both stone and metal properly

Do I need experience? No. It's a longer class, but it's built for beginners.

What it costs Everything is included in the class fee. Tools, equipment, materials, all of it.

What you take home A piece of jewelry you made from raw rock to finished silver. Very few people can say that.
