Course of

Jewellery Finishing Exercises

For this Course we designed a very particular object, a ring containing the major difficulties that could be encountered in the finishing of high jewellery pieces. The resulting design was tested by specialist goldsmiths working within Buccellati, Cartier, Bulgari, VPA, BMC and other leading companies. All agreed in recognising in the ring designed for the Finishing Course the major complications of the jewellery designed by the big brands. A true challenge even for the most experienced. All checked under the 10X lens, of course.

A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the Course program.
