It offers intensive training with three sophisticated optical engraving tools: a binocular microscope, GraverMax and custom engraving equipment. </div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Programmes:</strong></div> <div>All programmes, offered by The Alexandre School, are intensive practical skills based training courses based at the bench.</div> <div> </div> <div>The School offers an intensive and individual three month programme. The course will enable the student, in a controlled en</div> <div><br /> <div>vironment, to acquire all engraving skills through intensive training to become a professional stone setter. Students will be presented to different k</div> <div>inds of mathematical calculations. This involves measuring, drilling, cleaning and fraising of various metal surfaces for setting.</div> <div> </div> <div>For the jeweller who cannot leave their workshop for a three month period, The Alexandre School offers individual setting and engraving 5-day workshops. The major advantage of these workshops is that Mr Sidorov does not follow a strict programme or course guide. He will accommodate the individual needs of the student by answering their specific questions. </div> <div> </div> <div>The Alexandre School also offers group courses of stone setting and engraving. These courses have a maximum capacity of six students per programme. Students will also learn, in addition to the engraving skills, how various custom tools are maintained. </div> <div> </div> <div>Our individual and group 5-day workshops are designed for people who have no prior stone setting experience , as well as those who want a better foundation for stone setting.</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Setting Service and Studio:</strong></div> <div>Alongside the School, is a working Studio established in 1996, where Mr Sidorov, surrounded by other established setters, offers excellent high quality </div> <br /> <div>setting services to the trade. Students are able to witness a commercial setting operation and the high quality service produced by the Alexandre School techniques. As Mr Sidorov explains his personal ethos, “There is setting and there is setting! We like to demonstrate with three examples which a quality diamond setting really improves the brilliance and shine of a watch or a piece of jewellery. One can see three distinct levels of quality: the mediocre setting which buries the stone; the mid-range setting which gives an acceptable result; and the high quality setting which puts, one can say, the fire in the gem.”</div> <div> </div> <div>If you are interested in using the Alexandre setting service, please send a sample for us to set, so that you can evaluate the quality of our setting for yourself. We now have worked for many years on a regular basis for nationally and internationally reputed jewellery shops and brands. We are extremely competitive and you choose to supply your own stones or we can provide them for you. </div> <div> </div> <div><strong>The Alexandre School Shop:</strong></div> <div>In order to better serve students and customers The Alexandre School now offers a retail service, a shop, based across the road from the School. The shop offers an assortment of various specialised tools for stone setting, engraving, and fine metal handwork. Top quality tools from brands like GRS, Busch, Komet, Edenta, Zeiss are available. The shop’s knowledgeable staff is available at your disposal to answer your questions and advise you as required.</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Meet The Alexandre School:</strong></div> <div>If you would like to meet the Alexandre School Team and learn more about what we do and our training and services , we will be present at two European Trade Fairs this Spring. As in previous years, The Alexandre School will also be showing at the 2012 Inhorgenta Fair Hall A/2 Stand 621 in Munich, Germany (10 – 13 February) and Baselworld Halle 3.U Stand D40 in Basel, Switzerland (8 – 15 March). We would like to invite you to stop by at our stand and look forward to meeting you.</div> <div> </div> <div><a href="http://www.alexandreschool.com"><strong>www.alexandreschool.com</strong></a></div> <p> </p> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Goldsmith, Jewellers by Royal Appointment - London</h1> <p>Rebecca — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:51:00 GMT</p> <p>Goldsmith</p> <div> </div> <div>Jewellers by Royal Appointment require an experienced Goldsmith</div> <div>well versed in antique and modern jewellery manufacture and repair.</div> <div> </div> <div>Please send your C.V and covering letter to Paul Greer:</div> <div><a href="mailto:paul@bentley-skinner.co.uk?subject=via%20benchpeg">paul@bentley-skinner.co.uk</a></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Freelance Repair Jeweller/Jobbing Jeweller, Fleur Jewellery - Walton on Thames, Surrey</h1> <p>Rebecca — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:15:00 GMT</p> <p>Fleur Jewellery is an independent Jeweller located in Walton on Thames that opened in October 2011. We have a wide range of customers and find that we are constantly asked by our customers if we carry out repairs. </p> <p>As good customer service is paramount to us we would really like to be able to offer this service to our customers and so would like to source a jobbing jeweller who would like to become affiliated with our business to operate on a commission basis to carry out all of our customer’s repairs. </p> <p>Sadly, we do not have bench space within the store so the jeweller would need to be able to visit the store once per week to collect items for repair and take them away and return them back to the store once the repairs are completed. The type of repairs that we are asked to do are many and varied, for example: small soldering repairs, watch battery changes, watch strap changes, coin mounting, ring resizing, clasp replacements, stone replacements, links added or removed from bracelets etc. </p> <p>If you are interested in applying for this work then please contact Terasa Moody at Fleur Jewellery on:</p> <p>[t]<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>01932 252280.
