The Jewellers Retreat



from Jewellers Academy


What is the Jewellers Retreat?

This is a show that we have made for you. I invited three Jewellers Academy Diploma students to my home for three days of jewellery making. Each day, the students made three different jewellery projects under time constraints. They had an expert jeweller mentor available to ask for help and support and the show features lots of tips and tricks as well as some drama!

Season 1 was filmed in 2021 and Season 2 was filmed in summer 2023. Both are not available to binge watch now on the links below so grab a cuppa and settle in!

Kate’s jewellery journey started when she was very young when she received a beading kit for her birthday. She rediscovered her love for making when her son was born 7 years ago as a way to have some ‘me time’. Kate now runs her own jewellery business Kare Seow jewellery and offers limited collections, one-of-a-kind pieces, commissions as well as running workshops
