Bill worked re-cutting stones, teaching silver-smithing, and performing silver repairs for Cohen Jewelry in Doraville, GA off and on for 12 years. In 2003, he taught two large classes in Tanzania: one on cabochons and another on faceting.

Elliott, John

Growing up and I went into mines and collected stones with my mother and Father. Later in life I started faceting and making jewelry. In 2018, I discovered the William Holland School and took courses in faceting and jewelry making. I was hooked. I explored and enjoyed doing Sapphires and Rubies in 2019.
