Get Ahead Before Your Diploma Begins: 5 Benefits of the Jewellery Business Starter Kit
When you enrol on a Jewellers Academy Diploma, your jewellery training officially begins in September. But if you’re excited to start thinking about where your jewellery journey could take you, there’s no need to wait.
In fact, many people who join our Diploma programmes haven’t made jewellery before. They’re excited to learn a new craft, but they may also be curious about where their new skills could lead.
That’s why we’re currently including the Jewellery Business Starter Kit (worth £499) as a bonus when you enrol on a Diploma by 1st May 2026.
Many of our Diploma students go on to sell their jewellery, launch jewellery brands, or teach workshops. The Starter Kit gives you the opportunity to start exploring the business side of jewellery while you prepare for your training.

Here are five ways it can support you on your jewellery journey.
1. You Can Start Learning Before the Diploma Begins
Whether you’re already making jewellery or completely new to the craft, the months before your Diploma begins are a wonderful time to start exploring the world of jewellery.
While the Diploma focuses on teaching you how to make jewellery, the Starter Kit introduces the wider picture of what a jewellery journey might look like.
You can begin learning about:
setting up a jewellery business
branding and online presence
pricing and marketing
Even if you haven’t made your first piece yet, this background knowledge can be incredibly helpful and inspiring as you begin your training.
2. It Helps You Start Thinking Like a Jeweller
When you begin learning jewellery making, something interesting happens. You start to see jewellery everywhere. You notice design details, materials, craftsmanship and the stories behind different pieces.
The Jewellery Business Starter Kit helps you begin thinking like a jeweller, not just someone learning a new skill.
You’ll start considering questions like:
What kind of jewellery do I want to create?
What inspires my designs?
Who might enjoy wearing my work?
How might I share my jewellery with the world?
You don’t need to have all the answers yet. But starting to think about these questions early can make your jewellery journey feel even more exciting and meaningful.
And if you do decide to sell your work one day, you’ll already have begun developing the creative identity and confidence that jewellery businesses are built on.
3. You’ll Learn How to Price Jewellery Properly
Pricing jewellery is one of the most common challenges new jewellers face.
Many makers underprice their work because they are unsure how to calculate the true cost of their jewellery. The Starter Kit includes a pricing masterclass and spreadsheet that show you how to calculate the true cost of your work.
Understanding and getting your pricing right early on can help you feel far more confident if you decide to sell your jewellery in the future.
4. You’ll Improve Your Jewellery Photography
Good photography makes a huge difference when sharing your work online.
Inside the Starter Kit you’ll learn how to photograph and film jewellery using just your smartphone, with practical techniques for lighting, composition and styling.
These skills are incredibly useful for:
sharing your work on social media
documenting your jewellery journey
creating professional images of your pieces
Our top tip is to start your social media now and share your Diploma journey. People often make the mistake of waiting until their business is set up, only to find they have no audience or customers waiting. This will help support you in getting started now.
5. It Gives You the Option to Turn Your Skills Into a Business
Not every Diploma student wants to start a business, and that’s absolutely fine. Many people join simply because they love making jewellery.
But if you do decide you’d like to sell your work or grow a jewellery brand, the Starter Kit gives you the tools and knowledge to do that with confidence.
It’s a resource you can return to whenever you’re ready.
