Lesson one deals with iridescence, translucency and luster.Lesson two is all about cabochons and precious vs semi-precious gems.Lesson three dives into cut gems of various shapes and colors.Lesson four is the grand finale with diamonds. I've taught this course live and my students produced splendid results, so now I'm excited to share it with you.Please follow the lessons in order. They are built one upon another.
