LimitlessFaceted Stone Settings
& Ring Making
WITH TAYTE MCRAE
Welcome to the wonderfully intricate world of ring making! In this course I will be covering the
essential skills needed to build a beautiful custom ring. I firmly believe that every piece of
jewelry should be a reflection of the person making it, we don't always have the knowledge to
bring our ideas into reality though, I hope to share the skills and techniques needed to bring
your wonderful ideas to life throughout this course.
We will walk through basic ring building, including the techniques behind sawing, soldering and
polishing. We will then move into faceted stone setting! I will teach you how to do flush bead
style settings, tube settings, double walled bezel settings, and a basket prong setting. These
are the most versatile ways of stone setting that I have found and I use one or another almost
daily in my studio. We will also be learning how to add on the extra details that can take your
work to the next level like pierced overlays and rope edges. To finish off, I will share how I apply
a beautiful antique finish to my work.
This is a technique driven course and while it is focused around ring making I hope that it can
be the next step in your journey to making beautiful and unique jewelry.

"I have been a full time silversmith for the past 11 years, but I
started out at about kindergarten. It runs in the family! My focus
has been on jewelry making, almost exclusively, and I look forward
to sharing that interest with you all today. Welcome to class, let's
build some rings!"
