This past week we learned how to bezel set an oval 8 by 10 mm stone. We haven’t done the cleanup yet, so I’ll show another picture once the bezel is clean.
We also did a channel set ring. This one is pretty good, my first one and it was my first one.
Here are some more of my projects we did a lot of stones setting this week and working with
gravers. I was having a lot of trouble with the
gravers so I’m crossing my fingers that this week I can successfully demonstrate the technique. I’m still loving the
New Approach School.

I am enrolled in the Graduate Bench Jeweler Program at the New Approach School in Virginia. Thanks for the compliments. I’ve been to college and I’m learning an unbelievable amount of information at New Approach. I highly reccomend taking classes there, Blaine also sells videos on stone setting and there might be other things I don’t know about. You’re welcome to ask me any questions you want about the school. Happy to share!
Great work – thanks for sharing the progression of your classes! Going to the New Approach school is on my wish list…..
Valerie- Kerri here- Which program are you taking at Blaine’s? I am looking at time for taking the New Approach courses and loving your Blog and the craft!
Thanks Peggy, I’m loving every second of class. It truly is a gift to be here.
Looking good, Valerie! What a luxury such a class must be. Enjoy every second….
