Jeff Georgantes, director of the Claflin jewelrey studio, observes as Rita Tu, a fifth-year engineering student from California, solders a setting onto a ring she made during the studio's open studio hours. Georgantes says the studio is open for all Dartmouth students to learn outside of a traditional class format. He says students often make rings, pendants and earrings and will have one or two students a year who make an engagement ring. (Sarah Priestap photograph)
