What you study
Jewelry making and design studies explore the connection between an object and the body, and between one material and another, with consideration for culture and the environment. The studies focus not only on jewelry design, but also take a broader look at the environment around the body; some institutions also include fashion, shoe and bag design, and more. The curriculum includes theoretical and practical courses covering every stage of creation, from developing ideas and planning through prototyping, learning traditional production skills and current technologies, to the final implementation.
