Polishing and Finishing

Learn how to get a professional finish on your jewellery ...

Whatever type of jewellery making you do - silver, gold, metal clay, wax carving and casting - your finishing is what sets your work apart. In this course you will learn about different techniques and finishes you can use on your jewellery.

Taught by jeweller, Jessica Rose, in this course you will learn about:

• Polishing techniques that work with silver and gold
• Different polishing finishes including matt and high shine
• Hand polishing techniques with minimal equipment
• How to clean up and polish a wax cast piece of jewellery
• How to use a pendant motor and attachments to get different finishes
• Polishing a stone set piece
• Different equipment available including barrel polisher, pendant motor and the Jool Tool

This is a comprehensive course and while you will not use all of these techniques this course gives you a great overview of the tools and equipment jewellers use and will give you the opportunity to decide what will work best for you and your jewellery style.

All of these techniques take practice and patience and in this in-depth video course we have 10 lessons to guide you through the process which you can re-watch as many times as you like to perfect the skills and master the techniques.
