Hi, my name is Jessica. I am a silversmith, jeweller, designer & teacher. Originally from the UK, I now live and work in the heart of the Cognac region of France with my husband and three whippets. I try to inspire and entertain people from all around the world with my videos created in the old forge of the historic French Château we are restoring and now call home.

Gorgeous set. I really enjoyed that. Thank you, you're a good teacher. You have peaked my interest & made me want to learn. There was a few things you did that I didn't know what you were referring to, but I will have to learn.

[@Cognac_Jewellery_School]

Thank you so much for your kind words. If you have any questions do ask away - if I don’t have a videos for it, I’ll make one! 😄

Lovely rings! Liked your video, thanks for sharing the tutorial 😊

It is my pleasure! Thank you for your lovely comment

Hi, great filming and narration; sweetly cheeky and entertaining! Wondering how you keep the inside of the setting (backplate especially) from eventually getting tarnished (greyish black) and diminishing the beautiful translucent gem colors. Do you ever use a sealant or insert? Also, eeks: trying your stones in a closed back bezel without dental floss - you are brave! Cute cheeky pup! 😜

[@Cognac_Jewellery_School]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I know, I know, the dental floss trick is such a great one - I should get into the habit, but I just really like to live dangerously 😏 I don’t use a sealant, but sometimes I’ll cut a piece of fine silver to sit behind a clear gemstone.
