STONE SETTING &

RE-TIPPING LEVEL 3

FOUR DAY COURSE

Stone Setting & Re-Tipping Level 3 Course Overview

The Level 3 Setting and Re-tipping module builds upon its predecessor and is structurally integrated like other courses offered by the Academy. This training approach permits comprehensive instruction in incremental stages, allowing participants to complete each level and subsequently practice between each set of four-day sessions to master the skills gained.

Upon their return, participants may resume where they left off, now equipped with an enhanced skill set. This methodology has consistently demonstrated successful outcomes at the Academy. The course emphasises a broad range of essential bench skills required for today's contemporary jobbing jewellers. Given the significance of stone setting and repair within the trade, the course has been designed accordingly.
