Tube Setting Earrings

Tube Setting is a type of bezel setting that is the perfect choice for incorporating small faceted stones into any piece of jewelry.

Construct the earrings from Sterling Silver bar stock, get soldering practice as you connect your tube setting basket and earring wires to each, set stones, and bring the design to a high polish in this 2-night class.

Leave class with a pair of hooks-style earrings with faceted stones secured as the focal point.

All materials and tools are included. Earrings will be constructed in sterling silver using faceted colored CZs.
