Sit back and relax

  • This course is given by two teachers, one of whom is a stone-setter.
  • You are welcomed by your teachers before the class starts: a chance to meet each other and share experiences
  • You don’t need to bring any specific material
  • A certificate is given at the end of the class
  • We also offer a 4-hour course allowing you, through a more complete offer, to discover not only the setting techniques but also the wax project with a master jeweler: "From the Wax Project to the Setting Techniques"; it is therefore not recommended for the same person to do both courses. 
  • After each class, teachers deliver a list of books, podcasts, websites, museums related to the course attended
