Jewelry Design and Repair

Jewelry designers are practical artists who design and create beautiful, wearable art using metals, precious stones, pearls, crystals, and natural materials. If you have an artistic eye, a passion for fashion and like working with your hands, a career in jewelry design may be a perfect fit for you.

Jewelry classes teach students all about metalsmithing, casting, stone-setting, jewelry design, gemology, engraving and jewelry repair. Jewelry design is a career where your unique artistic ideas are celebrated and classes will help you sharpen your skills and master your craft.

Since many jewelry designers are self-employed, related studies in e-commerce, web design, internet marketing, and photography can be valuable in the promotion of unique products. Computer aided design may also be beneficial for jewelry design.
