I have just spent the weekend completing module 1&2 learning to Silversmith and setting jewellery with Aura and Laurence from Rainforest Gems. I am very pleased with the level of skills and knowledge that was given to me over the 3 days by such dedicated and wonderful people. This training has given me the confidence and understanding to further develop my skills working with silver and gold creating and designing jewellery. I recommend that you visit Rainforest Gems on the Atherton Tablelands in Tolga where you can purchase beautifully crafted opal settings, gold and silver jewellery to add to your collection or attend the training courses on offer. Thank you Aura and Laurence for this most rewarding experience. Best wishes Mick
