Goldsmith course: What you will learn

In a goldsmith course you learn the classic techniques of the trade:

• Telling precious metals apart: 925 sterling silver, fine silver, yellow, white and rose gold
• Measuring ring size and cutting the ring shank to the right length
• Sawing with a jeweller's saw, filing, bending and hammering on the ring mandrel
• Hard soldering with a torch and flux, followed by pickling
• Finishing surfaces: hammered texture, matte finish, high polish or engraving
• In multi-day courses: setting gemstones in bezel or prong settings

If you'd like to continue with beads, charms or Art Clay silver after your goldsmith course, jewellery making has shorter workshops from €34.

Goldsmith course at home

Goldsmithing needs a workshop, a soldering torch and a ring mandrel, so it takes place in the studio. For simple jewellery at home there are jewellery sets for threading and designing. A wedding ring or goldsmith course is also one of the most personal gifts for couples, for example for an anniversary or engagement.
