The most effective way to begin your career as a jeweler is by taking part in a professional training program. The type of program you enter will depend on your point of view, interests, time-table, goals, and budget. For example, if you are interested in a more art-based jewelry program, you may want to enroll in a university fine arts degree program. If you are more interested in the trade aspects of being a jeweler, then a program that offers a robust production curriculum will be more your style. There are hundreds of jewelry training programs available. Explore your options here.
