Create a bold, dramatic setting that’s as fierce as it is elegant! In this class, you'll learn how to fabricate talon-shaped claws—long, tapered prongs that securely hold a faceted gemstone while adding a striking sculptural edge to your design.
 
Explore the balance between strength and beauty as you shape and refine your setting for maximum impact and durability. This technique is perfect for showcasing larger stones or adding a powerful design element to your work.
 
Leave with a completed ring that makes a strong, sophisticated statement.
