STEP 1

Step 1

Raven at Heron & Lamb showed us how to transform soft stone like quartz into a treasured piece of jewelry! To begin, she secured a thin Dremel Drill Bit into her Dremel FortiFlex tool. While holding the piece of quartz secure in her pliers & against her workbench, she slowly drilled into the top of the quartz. She recommends working slowly so as to not crack the stone & stopping frequently to check the progress of the hole. Tip: Where to find quartz? We found some available at several online Jewelry Supply outlets simply by searching for “Jewelry Making Quartz”. You may also find some at your local craft & hobby store.

Next, she threaded jewelers wire through the hole she made in step 1 to create a loop which she strung onto a necklace chain. You can also use the same process using a shorter chain or stringing materials if you choose to make a bracelet instead.
