Mix and Match: Mini Stone Setting Studs with Ear Jackets - 4 hours

In this class you will make two pairs of stone setting studs and two pairs of ear jackets. When they are done you will be able to mix and match your ear jackets with any studs from class or that you already have at home. You can also wear the studs on their own without the ear jackets. (Ear jackets are a separate decorative piece that can be worn in front of the ear or behind the ear, and are attached via the earring post from the studs.) You will use the torch to solder posts onto the backs of premade bezels and choose which stones to set. All studs will be simple stone settings using 6mm round stones. If you prefer not to use stones you can opt to do a simple metal shape for the studs instead.  Your design aesthetic and style will come into play with the ear jacket. You can make them any shape with any texture. You could also pierce the shape and cut away material to create negative space in your design. Its all up to you! Included Materials - Sterling silver bezel cups, posts and backs, various stone options for studs (including turquoise, onyx, denim lapis, aventurine, malachite, and more). Brass and bronze material is included for the ear jackets. If you would like to upgrade to silver it will be an additional cost that can be paid during class. For those interested in buying tools on their own after class, a full tool list will be provided as well a discount code to get 6 months of wholesale prices from my normal supplier. Class size: 4 students $165 + $20 materials fee = $185
