Learning how to repair jewelry is a great way to learn the art of jewelry making. Repairing jewelry requires many skills such as soldering, gem setting, fabrication techniques and finishing processes. Having the ability to make broken or worn jewelry ‘wearable again’ is a great confidence builder as you learn jewelry making plus it’s the #1 “employable asset” on your resume if you apply to work in a jewelry trade shop.

This 6-lesson course will introduce you to the most common repair techniques used in day to day operations. We'll meet 1-2 times per week for 5 hours each session to complete this 30 hour course. You choose your schedule based on other class bookings. You’ll work on real jewelry; mainly 14K plus some silver and platinum items. I’ll supply jewelry in need of various repairs and teach you how to fix it.

Repairing jewelry is the way I started in 1970. It’s how I earned a living while studying with the G.I.A., Gemological Institute Of America. Jewelry repair will always be needed and people able to do it will always be in demand. Having this ability is an ‘open doorway’ into many areas of the jewelry business and many job opportunities. “Invest In Yourself”

*Laser & electric arc welding will be explained but not practiced in class.
