Color your jewelry designs with gemstone inlay! Join Julie Sanford in this 2-day technique driven workshop where you'll create a fun mid-mod Cocktail Ring (or composition of choice) with a contemporary negative space band. You will choose from a palette of gemstone chips, add colorful inlay, and use a new, easy system of hand finishing stone (no power tools needed!) to level and smooth, with additional tips on alternate finishing methods.
