Prong Setting a Cabochon Workshop 5/25/25 9am-12pm at the Club’s Lapidary Shop

Learn to set a cabochon with prongs by making and fusing a frame, measure and cut prongs you solder onto the frame. Create a bail and solder it onto the frame. Secure the cabochon with the prongs and go home with a new pendant. The silver used is Argentium, a kind of sterling silver but with a higher fine silver content, making it very slow to tarnish when compared to sterling.

The workshop is limited to 4 members. The workshop fee is $65, including silver and a cabochon, payable in advance to jetsorensen@gmail.com via Zelle.
