Alan Revere

Alan Revere, Founder and Director of the Academy, is a master goldsmith and award-winning jewelry designer with degrees in both psychology and sculpture. His passion for making jewelry drew him to Germany where he trained under some of the 20th century's most celebrated goldsmiths and designers. Returning to California with skills rarely taught in the United States, he was asked to share what he had learned with other jewelers and students. For several years, Mr. Revere taught in college jewelry programs and in 1979 he assembled a group of outstanding master craftsmen and established the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco's historic jewelry building.

Mr. Revere writes and lectures on a variety of jewelry subjects. For more information abou future classes to be taught by Mr. Revere both nationally and internationally, click here.

His current magazine series, Professional Jewelry Repair, will also be compiled into a book. Mr. Revere is president of the American Jewelry Design Council and founder of the Contemporary Design Group. He is also a recent winner of the Contemporary Design Group's prestigious High Achievement Award.
