JewelryMonk Podcast Tips, Tools, Cudos: I Just opened the JewelryMonk Studio and Training Center, BUT I haven't forgotten those of you who are not so close to SD, and that is why I Just re-released a Comprehensive video series, where, I have taken my years of jewelry experience, and simply and thoroughly developed a step by step video tutorial that covers the whole process of fabricating and soldering a piece of jewelry from the drawing, to final polishing.   It is called The Fabricated Pendant Project and I walk you through , In Video Form, every step from sketch to finished design. The Program has 19 videos that covers this process, as well as over 25 bonus videos along with it, literally hours and hours of content. Every podcast, I like to find people or companies that are doing it "right", seeing past their situation and giving to something larger than themselves. Alex Fitz Fine Jewelry, out of Denver Co.
