Time: 10:30pm - 4:00pm
Cost: $250
Location: 205C York St., Nevada City, CA 95959

Workshop Description:

Spend the day fabricating your own sterling silver, bezel-set stone ring! We will demonstrate and walk you through each step of the process of transforming silver sheet, wire and stone into a wearable piece of art. At the end of the day, you'll leave with a one of a kind ring, made with your own two hands. 

We will provide an assortment of pre-cut cabochon stones for you to choose from, or you can bring your own stone to work with. If you choose to bring your own stone, it must be pre-cut and flattened on the bottom (this is what "cabochon" means) and under 1.5" in diameter. If you're unsure whether or not your cabochon stone will work, you can email Leora at hello@leoracoronel.com with photos of your stone. 

To maximize your ring-making experience, you may choose to take our Cabochon Workshop before this one. This will provide you with the opportunity to cut and polish your own cabochon from scratch. 

Considerations: 
  • We will provide protective aprons and masks, but please wear clothing that can take a beating, as we will be working with some harsh chemicals and open flames. 
  • Please bring whatever snacks, drinks and other provisions you need to get through the day, as you will be processing lots of new information and we want your mind and body to be well-fueled.
  • We will be working with some teeny-tiny details, so if you wear glasses, please bring them so you can see!

Jeweler

I’ve been a jeweler for much of my adult life, and although it started with me gluing chunks of materials together (shout out to the first feather earring wave in 2005 lol), I felt a deeper pull to the craft of adornment. Following the creative call, I started exploring metalwork and lapidary work, slowly building my skills and experience over the years so that I could more artfully create the visions that I had in my mind. In 2010 I launched Gather Jewelry, which became a solid brand and business in my local community and online. In 2022, I retired Gather and I am continuing to make my hand-forged metal & stone jewelry under my own name. I live in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California and it is from this place that I find my inspiration—as well as some of my materials—like locally sourced minerals from the Yuba River. My designs are informed by a lifetime of fascination with ancient battle gear and weaponry, as well as all the stark magic found in the earth and all its kingdoms.
