student reviews

Not only has it been brilliant fun, but it was also challenging (in a good way - I was a total novice) and more than a little addictive! I acquired skills I never thought were possible (mine are amongst these). Moreover it has forever changed the way I understand and interpret illustrations and photographs of jewels. If you have time or inclination, I cannot recommend the course or Inesa enough!

This course went above and beyond my expectations. The improvements to my designing skills amazed me, even after the first lesson. I have been looking for a course like this for many years, and having access to it online was so convenient. Inesa was professional in her teachings, and demonstrated techniques very well. The course lessons were great to watch over and over. And the structure moving from cabochons to compositions mapped out very well. Before the course, I was looking at gems and painting them on their appearance. After the course, I gained an understanding of light and volume and how this affects the brightness and shadows of each gem.

A really great course and teacher! The lessons were clear and really easy to understand thanks to the method used to explain what was said. Inesa was really comprehensive and I'm really super satisfied to have paid for this course. I would recommend it to anyone debutants as experimented. The price is really worth it for such a quality course. Thanks a lot to Inesa for being that great of a professor.
