Learn how to pavé set small diamond cut stones into a sterling silver band. This type of pavé is called castle, or castelle, and is a common setting style in bridal jewelry. In this class, you will start with a blank ring and learn how to do this technique using minimal tools to achieve professional results.

We'll also use the Pulse Graver to split our beads and use beading tools to tighten our stones.  Having the pulse graver makes it easier to move the metal and make sure all your stone are secure!

CANCELLATION POLICY

  • You may cancel up to 30 days prior to the start of the class and receive a full refund, less $25 processing. To cancel, send an email to info@bouldermetalsmiths.com.
  • Cancellations less than 30 days prior to the start date will not be refunded.
  • In the event we have to cancel a class, you will be notified prior to the start date and will be issued a full refund.
  • Registration is not transferrable. You may not sell your seat to another student.
  • If a class has multiple sessions, and you miss one, there is no make up opportunity and the instructor will not catch you up at the next class session. You may not join the next scheduled class, as there’s a maximum number of students for every class and it’s not fair to the other students.
  • Please plan extra time to find us if you’re coming to BoMA for the first time. If you are late to a class, the instructor will not catch you up. There’s a structured curriculum for every class and its not fair to other students to skip part of the curriculum to catch up a student who’s late.

  • No Exceptions.

WAITLIST
