Silversmithing Workshop: Gemstone Ring

  • P1 Building in the Burfield Chairlift Parking Lot, Sun Peaks Sun Peaks, BC, V0E 5N0 Canada (map)

Join our instructor, Charlene Hall, for a fun and hands-on one-day workshop where you’ll learn to make your very own gemstone silver ring!

This workshop is now SOLD OUT - please follow the registration link to be added to the waitlist.

In this 5-hour class, you’ll be guided through the process of measuring and sizing your ring, texturing and shaping the metal, and using a torch to solder and anneal. You’ll also get to play with hammers and mandrels to create a ring that fits perfectly and reflects your style.

You’ll learn how to solder a bezel and securely set a gemstone. A selection of 4mm stones is included—choose from a variety of beautiful options!

If you’ve taken our Stacking Ring Workshop, this gemstone ring is the perfect addition to your set! The photos show how beautifully it pairs with the stacking rings—but in this class, you’ll be making one silver ring with a gemstone.

No previous experience is needed—just come ready to explore the art of traditional silversmithing!

All tools and materials are included in the price, and of course, you’ll take home the ring you create!

Price: $195 per person
Includes all supplies. There will be time for a lunch break during the session.
Limited space available; Courses are for students 16+ years old. Younger teens may attend if accompanied by an adult who is also registered. No experience necessary.

Charlene Hall is a jewellery designer and silversmith based on Pender Island, BC, where she designs and handcrafts each piece in her studio. With over 25 years of experience, Charlene has studied a wide range of jewellery-making techniques and continues to expand her skills through ongoing learning and exploration.

Her work is driven by a deep curiosity about metals and how they interact, as well as a long-standing love of the stones she works with. Each stone plays a central role in shaping the final design, resulting in jewellery that is often one of a kind and guided by the natural character of the materials themselves.

With the experience and time to hone her craft, Charlene creates high-quality, heirloom jewellery pieces designed to be worn, cherished, and passed on.
