Arrive 10 minutes early
Settle into your workstation and pick your gemstones before the session starts to maximize hands-on time.
Bring magnification
Close-up work benefits from reading glasses or a jeweler’s loupe if you have one; instructors supply basic tools but not personal optics.
Wear short sleeves or roll them up
Avoid snagging wire on long sleeves and keep your wrists free for precision work.
Keep finished pieces secure
Bring a small pouch or box to protect your rings when traveling home; wire tips can catch on fabrics until tucked safely away.
Reading glasses or loupe
Helps with fine detail and reduces eye strain during wire work.
Small towel or hand wipe
Keeps hands dry for better grip on tools and wire.
Pouch or jewelry box
Protects finished rings while you travel home.
Notebook and pen
Jot down wire gauges, stone names and techniques to repeat at home.
