Course Description: 

Courses will provide the student with general knowledge of tips and tricks of the trade for stone setting with Swarovski flat back crystals as well as hands on training with the owners supervision. Do not expect to become a professional stone setter using Swarovski crystals by just attending the beginner course or even completing all the courses of training for this would be a false promise from any educational institution. Our programs will give you a good foundation to understand and perform many of the tasks that you may be presented with when working in the Swarovski flat back stone setting industry. Becoming a professional flat back stone setter requires extensive training and practice like any other trade or profession. We do extensive hands on training with our students to assure they meet all requirements but we highly recommend practicing on your own as much as possible. 

You will start from the most basic design to a complicated design as you progress. If you think you are advanced and would like to skip the "beginner" course we can work something out depending on the level of experience you hold. 

Courses will include fundamentals of crystal glues. This will teach you to know which glue to use depending on which surfaces you are working on. 

The use of burs and stone setting tools will be shown and explained. 

Learn to select the proper size and type of tools for each individual project. 

Courses will also include how to calculate surface area and how to properly price your work. 

We will have branding tips. 

How to do a large production run. 

During the master course, student is allowed to choose a design, either from our website or any other website and we will provide knowledge on how to create that look and explore all the details required to achieve a flawless workmanship.
