Do you believe you can be successful even when others doubt you? 🤔

When I was starting my jewellery business you wouldn’t believe the number of people who told me I was bonkers... 💭

I first started by squirrelling away lots of tools 🔨 and learning how to use them 🔥 Now I’m improving my skills and investing in things I need to move my business forwards.

It's been quite a journey with ups and downs but I’m still loving it! 💍 I have taken a long route to get the skills I need to build my jewellery business but I’m going to share a shortcut you can take to get there much quicker and learn all the skills you need to run a successful jewellery business. 

I’ve been a member of the Jewellers Academy for the last five years and I’ve been working for them as a Silver Diploma Facilitator on the Silver Diploma group calls and as a Facebook group Advisor in the Silver Diploma group. 

 

 

I’m really excited to share about two jewellery making courses run by my friends at Jewellers Academy and the London Jewellery School that are now open for enrolment. They are online Diploma courses where you can 

• Watch the professionally filmed lessons anytime - time zone is not an issue!

• Get termly one to one support from a goldsmith mentor via Zoom

• Get individual feedback and assessment of your work

• Get your questions answered in the weekly live Q&A sessions and in the private Facebook group

It's a wonderfully supportive community of jewellers run by the inspiring Jessica Rose. They've been offering the Diploma in Silver Jewellery for several years now. This year it has been successfully running online and I've been lucky enough to have seen the amazing things the Diploma students have made on this course. Honestly you’ll be amazed how much they’ve learnt even in the first term. The Diploma in Silver Jewellery will be running again in September 2022 and is suitable for beginners and jewellers with some experience.

There is also a more advanced Fine Jewellery Diploma which is for Intermediate and more advanced jewellers. 

If you are interested in taking your jewellery making skills to the next level this may be something to help you do that. I’m so excited and can hardly wait to be able to set the marquis ring in the picture below!

 

 

What is the Diploma in Fine Jewellery?

This course is for the intermediate and advanced jeweller. It’s designed to equip you will skills that are not only enjoyable and fulfilling to master but will also help you to create commercial, highly desired fine jewellery. 

With a focus on mastering techniques ideal for commission work, making engagement and wedding rings, tennis bracelets, earrings, necklaces, design and rendering and of course your metalsmithing skills.

There is no course quite like this created for this end of the market for jewellers with this level of support. 

I'm currently taking part in this course and it’s been great. I’ve certainly been able to advance my own jewellery making skills. The stone setting is amazing and I'm really enjoying it!!! I’m finally able to make to the high end jewellery I've been dreaming of. It’s really helping me to develop my skills.

Both courses you will have access to after the course has ended, so you can always go back to revisit the skills you have learnt. There's also the option to buy a tools and materials kit for the Silver Diploma and a materials kit for the Fine Diploma. You can of course get the list for both courses and buy your own tools and materials. Then you can work from home whenever it fits in with your lifestyle. Some people set aside a day a week to do the course, and others fit in an hour or two on several evenings. You can fit your learning in with whatever suits you.
