Sam Woehrmann is BACK at MAGG! May 16 - May 18, 2025.

Join us for "Bezel Fabrication and Construction" with Instructor Sam Woehrmann, and learn to make and set bezels like a pro! Join us live, either virtually via Zoom, or in-studio at MAGG in ATL! Limited in-studio tickets remain, so act fast!

From Sam:
We will be learning my method of fabricating bezels in 22k gold and either 18k gold or sterling silver. I'll bring gemstones to purchase or you can use stones you already have. Cabochons, faceted stones, pearls or gems with rough surfaces, rose cut gems in geometric shapes are all welcome.

We will learn how to shape the bezels to fit specific stones. Making interior seats for faceted gems or stones we want to raise higher in their settings for design purposes. Learn fast efficient ways to set stones in tube settings for use in constructing finished pieces.

I like to use diamonds, sapphires or rubies so we can set them first and solder with them in place to keep the settings clean and to add some sparkle where it is harder to reach later. I'll talk and demonstrate a few ways of attaching bezels to one another strategically to bring designs together.

Finish your pieces after learning how to safely set stones into your newly made settings and some tips I've learned along the way as well as techniques I have figured out after working many hours at the bench.
