Does a new year start you thinking about what you'd like to achieve in the coming months? If one of your goals is to develop your jewellery making skills this year then I would love to invite you to take part in the Jewellers Academy Challenge for 2021.

And if you are reading this post after January don’t worry! Join in with whichever month we are in now!

What is the challenge?
Each month you will be challenged to make a different piece of jewellery and share it with us on Instagram and/or Facebook. The materials and design of the piece is completely up to you.
