I was commissioned a project and didn’t know quite how to tackle it. I found Emilie’s wax and stone setting bundle classes. I was able to get all my questions answered and utilized several of the techniques from various videos and pieced them together. Emilie’s videos were well thought out, succinct but included all the pertinent information. Also as a side note - I also was able to connect with Emilie directly to ask her a few questions. She was so helpful and my project ended up perfect.
The ring came out amazing, Nancy!! I'm so glad I could help along the process. I hope your client loves it!!!
