Welcome to Gemsetter by John Farley. After leaving school in 1986, two years were spent with highly skilled model maker Steven Hathaway where I learned all aspects of the trade. During this time I also attended the municiple school for Jewellers where a distinction in City and Guilds was achieved.
In 1988 I went on to work at B Stych where I furthered my knowledge and specialised in diamond and gem setting. It was here that I also mastered the art of Roman Setting.
In 1997 I started my own company in the Merlin Centre where I have been based for the past 10 years. Well known in the jewellery quarter, I set stones for some of the countries major manufacturers, small businesses and retailers. I have also recently passed the DGA practical diamond grading examination.
