In this two-day workshop you learn to make a
hinged bracelet with a bezel-set stone as the focal piece which is held in
place with two box clasps. The stone portion can be detached from the bracelet

The Hollow Donut
Ring – Begin your Circus experience with a basic design that is determined
to get you geared up and primed for the other types of rings you will learn to
make. Although simple in concept,
the Hollow Donut Ring has unlimited design possibilities...mix metal, add stones,
create patterns and textures to name a few options. On Day 1 you will learn how
to properly size a ring for any given gauge of metal, how to resize a ring once
it has been made, and how to finish your piece in a polished, professional way.
The Prong-Set
Ring – Continue your Circus experience on Day 2 by creating a sterling
silver prong-set ring. Not every stone fits nicely into a conventional bezel
and a prong setting offers options that usual bezels can't offer. We will also discuss various ring shank
possibilities. Learning both how to create a prong setting and securely set a
stone are two skills that can easily be applied to an infinite number of ring
design possibilities. A valuable addition to your jewelry-making arsenal!
