how to become a jeweller - diploma graduates share their journeys
If you’re curious about what happens after the Diploma courses, this Meet the Graduates session is such an inspiring watch. In this conversation, Jess is joined by three graduates from the Diploma in Silver Jewellery, Diploma in Fine Jewellery and Advanced Jewellery Diploma: Roxane Sequeira, Jess Croft and Risza Lopes Da Cruz.
Together they share what it was really like to study online for a Diploma with Jewellers Academy, how they made the courses work alongside busy lives, the projects they loved most, and what they’re doing now as jewellers. It’s an honest and encouraging conversation that shows there is no single path into jewellery, but there is so much possible when you keep learning, keep making and keep going.
Meet the Diploma Mentors 2026/27 - live open day replay
If you’re thinking about joining one of the Jewellers Academy Diploma programmes, this Meet the Mentors session is a brilliant watch. Jess is joined by three of our mentors to share what support looks like inside the Diplomas, how marking works, and what students can expect as they grow from ‘I’ve never picked up a saw’ to creating confident, professional-quality jewellery.
You’ll also hear the mentors’ own stories, which is one of the most inspiring parts of the session: three very different routes into jewellery, all leading to skilled, working jewellers who now guide others through the same learning curve.
