COURSE DESCRIPTION
The technique of Tension stone set is a beautiful way to highlight the stones, without setting them in a bezel or prongs, leaving the impression that the stone is suspended, as if by magic, in metal.
Usually the tension setting of a stone is obtained successfully, only in very strong alloy metals, such as white gold or titanium. But in this course you will learn how to create this beautiful illusion, using pure silver!
This course is recommended for students who have experience working with metal clay or have completed at least the introductory courses.
