• You’ll learn how to flush set very small (3mm) cz’s into heavy gauge metal.

• You’’ll learn and practice setting 3mm to 4mm cz’s into heavy wall tubing using the precision tools necessary for the job.

• And lastly you’ll learn how to build a prong setting for a larger faceted stone.

This class is a techniques only workshop that will challenge your skills and eyesight (please bring an Opti-visor or other head magnification gear).
