Class Activities and Techniques:​​
  1. Sizing: Students will begin by using a ring sizer to measure their finger and then refer to a sizing chart to mark the correct size on their ring blank.
  2. Cutting: Using a guillotine shear, students will cut the ring to the appropriate size.
  3. Stamping and Texturing: Students will stamp and texture their ring to create their desired designs.
  4. Forming: The edges of the ring will be sanded, and students will use flat nose pliers to form the ends of the ring, ensuring a tight fit.
  5. Cleaning and Soldering: The ring will be cleaned with pumice before soldering the formed seam and bezel cup using flux. Students will also work with Pickle to clean away can carbon and residue from the soldering process.
  6. Finishing and Stone Setting: Students will file and sand the soldered seam and ring edges. They can apply their preferred finish, choosing either a high-shine polish with a marker or a patina with liver of sulfur. Finally the will learn how to set their stone.
