Silversmithing Class – Argentium Silver Cabochon Pendant
🔨 Structure Collection
Level 2 – Intermediate Class – (level 1 required)
Some torch experience necessary.
Description
Design and build a geometrically clean Argentium silver pendant with a bezel-set cabochon. You’ll cut, form, fuse, bezel, set, and polish—focusing on accurate fits and crisp lines for a strong, modern look.
Design & feel
As part of the 🔨 Structure Collection, this project emphasizes clean edges, balanced proportions, and sturdy construction. The stone is framed by a sleek bezel and polished to a bright, professional finish.
About the stone
Smooth cabochons are ideal for bezel setting. A curated tray (e.g., turquoise, labradorite, larimar, amethyst) is provided—each stone is unique, so every pendant is one-of-a-kind.
Size & weight
Typical finished size 2–5 cm (0.8–2 in). Lightweight for daily wear.
Fit & sizing
Pendant fits standard chains.
Included with the pendant is an 18″ Sterling Silver Twisted Box chain
(heavier or longer chains will be available for purchase)
Materials & care
Argentium 940: bright, tarnish-resistant, nickel-free. Maintain with a soft-cloth polish as needed.
