After understanding the materials and tools, participants will make a couple of sterling silver rings on the second day out of sheet and wire. A simple bezel setting to attach a cabochon stone is also introduced. Attend with your friends or family members to make special rings to take home and have a great weekend in the UW-Stout Metals lab Saturday through Sunday.
