Learn to see stones the way a jeweler does
A small-group, hands-on class at our Montréal atelier — led personally by Dominique Flux. Loupe in hand, you'll learn to read color, cut, clarity, and carat like a professional.

This isn't a lecture — it's a conversation with loupes and tweezers in hand. You'll examine real sapphires and colored gemstones up close, learn the vocabulary jewelers actually use, and walk away able to look at any stone and understand what you're seeing.
Every class is small and personal. No handoffs — Dominique teaches every session herself, the same way she leads every client consultation.
