School Update – Online bookings are now available for our Winter Term.
Making mounts for and setting rectangle or squares stones brings a series of technical challenges to consider. These settings are reminiscent of the Art Deco style which you can use in your ring designs or combine to create elegant pendants.
On this course you will learn how to set square and rectangular stones precisely ensuring crisp edges and a professional finish. To achieve this the course is divided into two projects, starting out simple and becoming progressively more challenging.
In this project we will learn how to make mounts and set faceted stones under 5.5mm.
The project will be a channel setting that can be used for multiple square stones or a single rectangular stone.
All our advanced courses are designed to further develop your skills. This course is for experienced makers only with an intermediate to advanced level of competence. If you are new to Kingham Jewellery School please contact us for a skill level assessment
