Our Mission 

is to promote, educate and stimulate interest in the earth sciences and lapidary arts.

Each month workshops are offered

to club members and visitors.

Workshops are free, but there may

be a small fee for kits that are

offered for some projects.

There are generally two or more

projects being worked on, plus

cabbing or faceting of gem stones

Always something to do

Round Nose Pliers

Bend the two round pieces in the center near the base of the round nose pliers. 

Insert five of the 1 ¾" pieces between the bend about 3/8" from the bend. 

Wrap five times away from bend. Bend each of the wires one at a time. Trim the wire the width of the wrap, file the wires and press down flat. Fan out the wires peacock style. Put a silver bead
on each wire. They will form an arrow with the point away from the bend. Bring the wires back together and wrap five times. Bend the five wires one at a time file and bend down. Put a hook or leaver back on the bend. Repeat for the second earring.
