Matching Cabochon Pairs with Jim Hill
Saturday, July 18 ((9:00 AM to 4:30 PM)) +++ ONE SPOT LEFT +++
Join expert lapidary instructor Jim Hill for a focused day of cabochon cutting, with special attention on creating matched pairs for earrings, rings, and other jewelry designs.
We’ll begin with a review of cabochon-cutting fundamentals, then move into the details that help two stones feel balanced together: shape, proportion, profile, polish, and finish. You’ll also learn how to safely drill holes in cabochons, opening up new options for pendants, earrings, and other stone-centered designs.
This class is best for students with some previous lapidary experience who are ready to refine their skills and work with more intention.
Techniques we’ll cover
Reviewing cabochon-cutting fundamentals
Selecting and planning matched stones
Shaping cabochon pairs
Refining symmetry, profile, and polish
Drilling holes in cabochons
Materials we’ll use
All tools and materials are provided. You’ll create several finished cabochons to take home.
What to expect
This is a technique-focused lapidary class with plenty of hands-on work and instructor guidance throughout the day.
