We recently had the chance to teach our Sterling Silver Adjustable Jewelry Workshop, and we had such a wonderful time watching everyone create their own pieces!
During the class, participants learned how to shape, form, and finish sterling silver while creating two pieces to take home: a pair of staple earrings and an adjustable ring. It was so much fun seeing everyone’s individual pieces come together, and we loved sharing the process of working with sterling silver.
The best part? You don’t have to wait for our next workshop to try it yourself.
We’ve put together links to the tools and materials we used so you can recreate these projects at home. Whether you’re brand new to jewelry making or already love working with metal, these projects are a fun way to practice shaping and forming sterling silver while creating something you’ll actually want to wear.
