Who can study at International Jewellery School?
The school is open to everyone, regardless of age, education or experience. We work with a wide range of students:
- Complete beginners - people who have never held a jeweller's tool but want to learn the profession from scratch. For them we run a preparatory course on the pneumatic graver: in 5 days it lays the foundation - correct posture, hand positioning, working under the microscope and the first metal-carving skills. After this course a student can already try their hand at simple work.
- Aspiring jewellers and students of specialist universities #ИМЯ?
- Practising masters with experience - jewellers, engravers and stone setters who work in workshops or run their own brands. They come for new techniques (such as high-polish engraving), to deepen their stone-setting knowledge, and for the chance to work on world-class equipment not found in ordinary workshops.
- Professionals from related fields - designers, sculptors, restorers and watchmakers who need jewellery skills to broaden their competencies or create original signature pieces.
- International students - the school welcomes students from any country. Classes can be taught in English, and the cultural programme makes the training an enriching journey as well.
There are no rigid entry requirements - we match the programme to each student's current level. Before the course starts you can consult our sales team to find out which course is best for you.
