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 seven 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 am a mentor for the Diploma in Silver Jewellery.

 

 

I’m really excited to share about some jewellery making courses run by my friends at Jewellers Academy 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 a number of years now. It has been successfully running online for several years 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 2024 and is suitable for beginners and jewellers with some experience.
