Benefits of Learning Jewellery Making Skills

There are many benefits to learning a new skill in general, but learning how to make jewellery specifically has its own benefits such as:

– Helps you start a new hobby and learn a highly skilled trade
– Connect back in with your creative side
– Improves focus and problem solving skills
– Unique and personalised gifts are a guarantee for your loved ones
– Working with your hands relaxes you
– There are so many different ways to do everything so you’ll have lots of fun exploring what works best for you!

What will I learn

In this fun and flexible gemstone setting class, you will learn how to set one or numerous gemstones using a flush setting into a sterling silver ring or pendant.
 
The emphasis of this course is to learn how to set gemstones- which can be tricky! So as to enable fitting everything into one day we have pre-made the sterling silver pendants and rings, as pictured above, and you can choose from an array of different coloured cubic zirconia gemstones- all 2mm so as to make your life easier!
 
It is very easy to break or lose gemstones when trying this technique for the first time, hence why we have chosen a beautiful but cheap stone for you. You will spend the morning practising on copper before you set your gemstones into your final sterling silver piece.

Duration of Course

From 10-5:30pm, with an hour lunch break. We are in a wonderful spot, Drury Street in Dublin City Centre, so choose from lots of fabulous places all on our doorstep or bring a picnic and eat it in St Stephen’s Green which is just around the corner.
