The Handmade Jewellers is a documentary series we have made for you. In episode 1 I visit Margate, England, the home of Anna Sweet founder of This Story Jewellery. I found out more about her jewellery journey and she taught me to make a wax carved pendant inspired by my birth sign. Watch the episode now.

You may have seen that I have filmed an exciting new documentary series called The Handmade Jewellers. In this short series premiering live on YouTube, come on a journey of discovery with me, Jessica Rose. I meet five jewellers who are creating and selling their work, building their own businesses. We get a tour of their workshops and a look at the tools they love! Plus they teach me a new jewellery making skill. I’d love you to meet The Handmade Jewellers.

Have you seen metal clay going viral on Instagram and Tiktok? Some of the reels have millions of views. So what is metal clay and why should you know about it? Metal Clay artist Anna Campbell looks at why.

The Diploma in Fine Jewellery has been popular this year and we are getting the same question regularly - what experience do I need to have in order to join the course? So here is the answer!

Last week I shared our newest free course ‘How To Make A Convertible Silver Brooch Pendant’ and I’ve picked out a few of my other favourites for you too. There’s a lovely range of projects here, with something for all levels of experience. These courses are a great way to learn new skills as well as re-ignite some creative sparks if you’ve perhaps been struggling with inspiration recently.

Convertible jewellery, sometimes known as modular or transformable, is designed and made so that it can be worn in more than one way. Think a brooch that could also be worn as a pendant; pendants that could be earrings etc. To celebrate the launch of our brand new free online course, here is a guide to the history of this amazing jewellery style

To celebrate our free 5 Days of Silver Metal Clay course, we are giving away a very special prize.

One of the big benefits of the Diploma courses with Jewellers Academy is that you are assigned a mentor who will work with you one to one over Zoom. Your mentor will assess your work and give you one to one constructive feedback. We have a team of mentors at Jewellers Academy and I invited four of the mentors, one for each of the Diploma courses, to talk a bit about their experience of mentoring, how they support you and what they love about working with you one to one. Watch now.

Have you heard of metal clay but wonder what it is and how to use it?
