DIAMOND SETTING

The diamond setting course will cover any aspects of stone setting a student would like to learn.

Guy Whitney has been setting stones for over 25 years and has extensive experience in what looks best for particular designs. Setting procedures for more delicate stones will be explained. You can bring your own pieces to set or purchase a mount and semi-precious stones from the school. Learn how to set in silver or copper sheet, which is particularly good for practising pave, gypsy, or illusion setting. You will also be taught how to sharpen and prepare your setting tools. This is a 1 day course.

PLEASE NOTE: The diamond setting course is a very important part of jewellery making as it will give the understanding of how to set a stone before the commencement of making a piece of jewellery.
