In other Online Jewelry Academy video tutorials Professor John Ahr has introduced viewers to casting stones in place using lost wax casting techniques. In this two-part video, Prof. Ahr will demonstrate how to cast gem material in place using direct casting techniques. Using a sterling silver model that he originally made using cuttle fish bone casting techniques, he will recreate that form with gemstone enhancements that appear to be flush set.
