Silversmithing Class – Argentium Silver Cabochon Pendant
Description
In this Level 2 class, you will design and build your own Argentium Silver 940 pendant with a bezel-set cabochon. First, you will review tools and safety. Then, you will cut and shape the metal. Next, you will form and solder the bezel. Finally, you will set the stone and complete the polish. As a result, you will strengthen accuracy and control while completing a clean, modern pendant.
Design & Feel
This project aligns with the 🔨 STRUCTURE collection. Therefore, it emphasizes clean edges, balanced proportions, and solid construction. In addition, you will focus on crisp lines and correct alignment. Overall, the finished piece reflects clarity and precision.
About the Stone
Smooth cabochons are ideal for learning bezel setting. A curated selection is provided and may include turquoise, labradorite, larimar, or amethyst. Because each stone is unique, every student completes a one-of-a-kind pendant.
