Donate Renew Your Membership Hello, beloved MAGG Member! Please note these important details about renewing your membership for the first time on our new website: All memberships purchased prior to April 14, 2022 were manually transferred from the Wild Apricot platform. These transferred memberships did not automatically renew at their expiration date, so your membership may have lapsed without you knowing it. To check your member status, click the dropdown menu under your name at the top right of this page. Go to "My Dashboard" and select "My Subscriptions". There you will see your membership in "Active" or "Expired" status. To re-establish your membership, you must purchase a membership on this page one time. Select your membership plan above and complete the form. IMPORTANT: Use the same email address you use to log in now. (If you are unsure, go to "My Dashboard" > "My Account" for this information.) Once you have made this initial purchase, your membership will auto-renew each year on your expiration date (unless you have a Student Membership). Renewals will be billed to the credit card you enter when purchasing your membership. Please add this date to your calendar, as you will not receive a reminder email after your first year due to limitations within the Wix system. You may cancel your membership at anytime from "My Subscriptions". If you have any questions or problems completing your renewal, please contact webmaster@metalartsguildga.org .

Click Here to Join Class Description We will be learning my method of fabricating bezels in 22k gold and either 18k gold or sterling silver. I'll bring gemstones to purchase or you can use stones you already have. Cabochons, faceted stones, pearls or gems with rough surfaces, rose cut gems in geometric shapes are all welcome. We will learn how to shape the bezels to fit specific stones. Making interior seats for faceted gems or stones we want to raise higher in their settings for design purposes. Learn fast efficient ways to set stones in tube settings for use in constructing finished pieces. I like to use diamonds, sapphires or rubies so we can set them first and solder with them in place to keep the settings clean and to add some sparkle where it is harder to reach later. I'll talk and demonstrate a few ways of attaching bezels to one another strategically to bring designs together. Finish your pieces after learning how to safely set stones into your newly made settings and some tips I've learned along the way as well as techniques I have figured out after working many hours at the bench.
