Bezel Set Your Sea Glass -- Beyond Wire Wrapping!
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Make a sea glass pendant so you can wear a souvenir of your beach vacation all year!
Sea glass provides a unique challenge when making jewelry. It's not calibrated (like a stone) so you have to make your own setting, and it can be round, but sea glass often is more free-form. If you have some experience soldering then this class is the perfect opportunity to practice and step up those soldering skills. We'll learn to make a bezel that will protect the edges of your sea glass, keep it securely set on the pendant, and give your jewelry a polished, professional look.
These skills will also transfer to making bezels for other found objects and for free-form stones.
