Savoir-faire

Trying out the jeweler's techniques (2h)

Trying out the jeweler's techniques

Discover what it takes to create a High Jewelry masterpiece.

After a brief introduction, you will sit down at the traditional and authentic jeweler's workbench and you will participate in four different workshops, guided through every step by the artisans themselves. You will practice sculpting on a piece of jewelry modeling wax, you will use the jeweler's saw to make cuts into a piece of metal, you will do some polishing, and finally you will learn one of the most essential gestures to the setter by "lifting the grain" in a piece of metal.  

This course gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal with the richness of the "métiers d'art" (the artistic professions).
