"I wanted a professional jewelery program with total immersion in order to learn as much as possible. The Academy's 8 week Jewelry Technician Intensive program was just right. Through demos, hands-on projects and practice, I learned all the essential bench skills and much more, and I built my confidence as well. I just took the JA certification exam and felt confident about my performance during the test. Coming here was definitely the right decision."

Professional Jewelry Making
A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Jewelry Techniques
Look for the second edition of Alan Revere’s classic book, Professional Goldsmithing with the new title, Professional Jewelry Making. This expanded and revised text on the art of goldsmithing will document the fabrication of 35 projects in detail, including 5 new projects: a twist ring, hollow Ring, toggle bracelet, platinum pendant, and locket. The original text has been updated into a new layout, with larger photographs, and includes updated information on working with platinum. The chapter/projects are presented in order of difficulty, beginning with a forged bangle and a crocheted chain. From there, Revere proceeds to create earrings, chains, clasps, rings, bracelets and neckwear. Over 400 color photos and 150 line drawings make this book a must for the serious student/jewelry maker.
