Precious Platinum

It is a known fact that to produce and finish fine platinum jewellery is one of the trade’s greatest challenges. To do this time and cost effectively is even harder. This course will give  you opportunity to ask questions to one of the trade’s top master craftsmen and to capitalise  on the popularity of platinum in the market.

Platinum is denser and stronger than white gold. This means that settings can be made of thin, seemingly fragile constructions, and still have the strength and integrity to securely hold stones or jewellery together.
