Repair 2: Intermediate

24 Hours

$499 + $85 kit

Building on the skills acquired in Repair 1, you will learn a number of more advanced repairs. After watching over your instructor’s shoulder, you will add settings, replace prongs, rebuild tips, install a spring insert and sizing beads, replace a half shank, assemble and set tennis bracelets, and learn to carve a seat to set an oval cab in a gypsy setting, while working primarily in gold and silver. You will also assemble and repair a basket setting and bail, then modify both the setting and bail to set a non-calibrated stone and accommodate a larger chain and more. Prerequisite: Repair I and Setting 2 or experience. 24 hours
