What's in a Box?

The Hammer and Anvil Starry Night Box-EXAMPLE as each tutorial box is unique!
​The Starry Night flush setting pendant tutorial will guide you through the process of making a flush set pendant using featured jewelry tools and sundries (see the subscription for details!) We will be focusing on the proper use of tools included in the box as well as general good studio practice. You will have all of the silver materials and gemstones to make the jewelry project TWICE! Your studio will need to be equipped with some basic metalsmithing and jewelry making tools, supplies and consumables to make the project. There will be a limited number of boxes available to keep the jewelry workshop experience intimate and allow for individual attention. We want to build community and fellowship through your experience. You will need basic soldering, sawing, measuring, filing, forming and flex shaft/rotary tool use. Previous stone setting experience is not necessary. If you do have some jewelry making experience, you will still learn something new! We will expand your skills with tons of information in these tutorials. We bring you 30+ years of experience through virtual learning!

What Tools Should I Have?

Basic metalsmithing and jewelry skills are needed but don't need to be refined. Previous soldering, sawing, filling, forming, and finishing is helpful but not required. If you have set stones before using a burnisher and/or pusher, you will still learn new skills. If you haven't, you will learn a ton!

There are some basic metalsmithing and jewelry making tools that need to be in your studio to be able to accomplish the project and future projects. Studio tools are needed but not limited to just these but an example of a basic set up. If you don't have all of these, contact me and we can decide what is absolutely essential or alternatives for success. There are great cost effective solutions when the tool is not in the cards at the moment.

  • Torch: Butane Big Shot at minimum should work but propane/oxygen, acetylene ambient air (Silversmith torch), acetylene/oxygen are preferred (Little Torch.) Any pinning (balling up) of wire is best done with a Little Torch set up for most success.

  • Soldering pick, tweezers and third arm or could just be soldering cross locking tweezers.
  • Pickle pot, copper or bamboo tongs and rinse bowls.
