Course description

The Jewellery Making Stone Setting in Silver Short Course is a practical course designed to help students develop their stone setting skills.

The course offers students the opportunity to work in the jewellery studio at Central Saint Martins. Projects are designed to help students extend the jewellery making skills they have learnt on previous jewellery making courses.

Working with silver and semi-precious facetted stones ,students learn how to make at least 2 settings, a tube setting and a cone setting. Students make two rings that stack together, creating a tube setting and a cone setting for facetted stones. Depending on the level of skills and experience within the group we may move on to heat forming flush settings as well.
