Building on foundational skills developed in other metalsmithing classes, this intermediate course emphasizes precision, design development, and expanded stone-setting techniques: advanced bezel, tube, prong, and multi-stone settings. Students will refine soldering, fabrication, and finishing methods while creating projects such as a multi-stone ring or pair of earrings. Attention is given to layout accuracy, symmetry, and craftsmanship, as well as creative problem-solving. Students will demonstrate increased technical confidence and a more personal design voice in their work.
