Join us for a Claw Setting Masterclass to expand your setting skills and build confidence in setting gemstones.
There can be many advantages to incorporating cast settings in your jewellery the biggest ones being the ability to realise your designs more efficiently and affordably! This course will help you understand the full variety of setting options available to you as a jeweller – and how to identify where cast settings can provide you with an advantage.
