Wax Carving Rings with Gemstones

Location: Simply Creative - 1313 Chestnut Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403 Age Requirement: 16+ (inquire in younger- use of sharp and hot tools in class) Class Details Create a one-of-a-kind, sterling silver, gemstone ring using the wax buildup technique. In this step-by-step jewelry-making class, you’ll sculpt a custom wax ring and set a cubic zirconia stone at its center. Choose your stone’s size, shape, and color to create a design that reflects your personal aesthetic. Think of the wax as a model of your future piece of jewelry. Every detail you carve into the wax will eventually become metal through "casting". Casting is not done during the workshop. Once your design is complete, you'll leave your wax model with us and we'll send it to our professional casting partners, who will transform your wax creation into metal using the lost wax casting process. Due to the stone-setting design of this project, sterling silver is the only casting option offered for this class. We cannot offer bronze. Casting into Metal The class fee includes instruction, use of all tools/supplies, your cubic zirconia stone, and mailing your finished jewelry to your home. Casting costs are additional and typically range from $50-$100+, depending on the final weight of your ring. Casting is optional. If at the end of class you’d prefer not to cast, you can leave without a finished piece, but having gained the knowledge to continue at this new hobby at home. Casting your ring into sterling silver & setting the stone are done by professionals & not a part of this class. Casting takes about 6 weeks. We will contact you via email, letting you know your piece is finished and has been shipped. Fine Print No experience is needed, just bring your creativity, and we supply everything else!
