Saddle-Set Hinged Earrings (Online and In-Person) @ Silvera Jewelry School in Berkeley, California


  • Alex Boyd Studio Denver (map)

Join me for a three day romp through fabrication, stone setting, and movement with his saddle-set hinged earrings class!

This class is all about teensy tiny moving parts - they can seem intimidating at first, but with a little guidance, you'll be crushing it! (And by crushing it, we mean not actually crushing it because then they wouldn't work any more.) I will cover building 22k gold bezels for cabochons, making saddle settings for drilled stones, making tiny hinges and riveting them together without freezing the hinge, making a little swivel hook for ear wires so that the earrings don't go flying off the next time you're headbanging in the mosh pit, and TONS of other little tips and tricks that have applications in all sorts of scenarios.
