Alexandre

School for Optical Diamond Setting

Alexandre Sidorov is internationally recognized for his exquisite stone-setting abilities. Over thirty years of experience have led him to the development of a highly specialized setting technique in which the microscope is used as the main working tool. The uniqueness of Alexandre’s work methods is the result of a combination of two specialized professions: Microscopical engraving and stone setting. Alexandre offers this ‘know how’ at his Optical Stone Setting School. This program results in a high setting quality in a relatively short period of time. Both 5-day and 3-month courses are offered.
