    Hi folks I just finished watching "The Art of Setting Princess Cuts"
    from the New Approach School. In my opinion it is one of the most
    useful and instructive jewelry training videos that I have seen. 

    I recently worked for a major jewelry corporation that in its sales
    promotions relied heavily on the concept of setting diamonds while
    the customer waited . This concept was great for the sales staff but
    made the job of the jewelers much more difficult. 

    Because princess cut diamonds are a hot item presently, We in the
    repair department found ourselves at times setting princess cuts
    ranging in size from .25 cts to as large as 3.00 cts under very tough
    time constraints. obviously this is a recipe for certain disaster. 

    Most of the problems stemmed from the fact that there was really no
    concise methodology for setting the stones safely in a variety of
    heads. Because of this, each jeweler had to develop their own
    techniques, mainly by trial and error (sometimes very expensive
    error). 

    This video addresses many of the problems that we encountered and
    offers very precise and practical solutions. It is well produced and
    designed in a manner that lends itself to being used as a quick
    reference tool. 

    I would recommend this video to anyone who is wants to learn how to
    set princess cuts or wants to improve on their own setting
    techniques.
