In 2010 I am offering a number of short practical gem courses that push beyond my core course content of gem quality, identity and beauty. Acting on feed-back from past course attendees I am delighted to announce two new one-day events:
In partnership with Joanna Hardy, former Sotheby’s jewellery expert and a current jewellery specialist on the BBC TV Antiques Roadshow, we will be presenting the “Magical World of Antique Jewels and Gems”. This exciting and unique day will be held in Knightsbridge, London. I will look at the complexities of the gem world, what to look for and how to appreciate nature's marvels. Followed lunch at The Capital Hotel, Knightsbridge, Joanna will take you on a journey through the Art Deco period and Famous Jewellery Collections, looking at the gems in the pieces. The day will finish with champagne and canapés.
First 2010 date: APRIL 19th 2010
£390
To book please contact Laura Styles at The Capital Hotel: 020 7591 1215.
In addition, in partnership with Tracy Jukes, a leading UK gem dealer in Hatton Garden, I will present a one day workshop on “Gem Qualities and Values”. During a day of handling coloured stones, I will lead attendees through topics such as current gem treatments and the latest simulants and synthetics and how gem quality is judged. Tracy will discuss current values of commercially important gems, how treatments affect value and what determines current fluctuations in gem prices.
First 2010 date: APRIL 18th 2010. Places are limited
£125
