The Jewellery Business Academy 2027


Build your jewellery business with a whole year of training, support and accountability

 

Lets grow together!


Making beautiful jewellery is one skill. Building a business around it is another.

The Jewellery Business Academy is a CPD Accredited year-long business programme created specifically for jewellers who want to start, grow or strengthen their jewellery business.

From January to December 2027, we’ll work through the essential areas of building a successful jewellery business together - from branding, products and photography to marketing, websites, pricing, email marketing, selling and launching.

But this isn’t simply a library of business courses for you to work through alone.

You’ll have structure. Deadlines. Expert guidance. Group mentoring. A community of other jewellers building their businesses alongside you. And, for 2027, you can also choose to add a full year of individual business mentoring for even more personalised support.

There is just one Jewellery Business Academy intake for 2027.

Enrolment opens 13th October 2026.
The programme begins 4th January 2027.
Enrolment closes 18th January 2027.

We are currently preparing to open for enrolment. If you’d like to be informed via email, add your email address on the button below.

 
 

About the Course

Give your jewellery business the attention it deserves

When you run a jewellery business, there is always something competing for your attention.

There are pieces to make, photographs to take, Instagram posts to create, prices to work out, websites to update and customers to find, all while trying to decide what you should actually be concentrating on next.

It is very easy to spend a lot of time working in your jewellery business without having enough time, support or direction to work on growing it. That is what the Jewellery Business Academy has been designed to change.

Instead of trying to learn everything at once, we take you through the year step by step. Each month has a clear business focus, giving you the training, tools and support to make practical improvements to your own business as you go.

By the end of the year, you won’t simply know more about running a jewellery business - you’ll have spent twelve months actually building yours.

A full year of jewellery business support...


What’s included

When you join the Jewellery Business Academy, you’ll get:

  • Monthly business training focused on a key area of growing a jewellery business

  • 10 live small-group mentoring sessions throughout the year

  • Quarterly business planning and check-in sessions with Jessica Rose

  • One 45-minute individual mentoring session with a jewellery business expert, chosen according to the area where you would most value specialist help

  • Access to our dedicated supportive student community

  • Practical resources, templates and tools to help you implement what you learn

  • Exclusive jewellery trade discounts

  • The opportunity to achieve CPD certification as an Accredited Jewellery Business Specialist

  • A whole year of accountability, encouragement and support from people who understand both jewellery and business, to help you learn, review and implement transformational changes

 
 

The Programme


We often overestimate what we can get done in a day and underestimate what can change over a year if we focus our attention on what matters - one thing at a time.

This is exactly how the Jewellery Business Academy works. Each month of the programme gives you a clear area of your business to focus on, with the training, support and accountability to help you put into practice what you’ve learnt.

Over the course of the year, those individual areas start to connect: your brand informs your marketing, your pricing supports your profitability, your photography strengthens your website, and your understanding of your customers makes selling easier. Ultimately helping you to make the changes that genuinely move your business forward.

 

January–March: BuildING strong foundations

We start with the bigger picture.

January: Vision, planning and business growth
Get clear on what you want from your business, where you are going and the revenue-generating activities and numbers that matter.

February: Build a brand that feels like you
Go beyond colours and logos to create a clear, recognisable jewellery brand built around your values.

March: Develop your product strategy
Look closely at your jewellery, your collections and your signature style so that what you make supports the business you want to build.

Plus: your first quarterly business check-in with Jessica Rose to review where you are and keep your plans moving.


April–June: Get your jewellery seen

Once the foundations are in place, we turn our attention to how your jewellery is presented and discovered.

April: Jewellery photography and video
Learn how to photograph and film your jewellery beautifully and, importantly, create a bank of high-quality images and video you can actually use across your business - for your website, product listings, social media, email marketing, launches and promotions.

May: Marketing and Instagram for jewellers
Create a manageable marketing plan, improve your storytelling and copy, and learn how to use Instagram more effectively to reach and sell to your customers.

June: Build a website that sells
Work on your product listings, SEO, customer experience and the other elements that help turn your website into a genuine sales tool.

Plus: your second quarterly business check-in with Jessica Rose to review what is working and decide where to focus next.


July–September: Make the business work behind the scenes

A successful jewellery business needs more than visibility. It needs solid foundations underneath it.

July: Pricing for profit
Understand your numbers, price your jewellery sustainably and build confidence around charging properly for your work.

August: Business essentials
Get to grips with practical areas including hallmarking, postage, packaging and the basic financial and administrative elements of running your business.

September: Email marketing
Build one of the most valuable marketing assets in your business: a list of people who have actively asked to hear from you. Learn how to grow your list and use email to nurture relationships and make sales.

Plus: your third quarterly business check-in with Jessica Rose to take stock before the busiest selling period of the year.


 

October–December: Sell, launch and grow

The final part of the year brings everything together around customers and sales.

October: Launching your jewellery
Learn how to plan and run launches for new jewellery, products and collections rather than simply putting them online and hoping people notice.

November: Selling your jewellery
Build your confidence with selling and learn approaches that feel natural and authentic while helping more customers buy from you.

December: Understand and attract your customers
Finish the year by deepening your understanding of the people who buy from you, how to communicate with them and how to create relationships that bring customers back.

Plus: your final quarterly business check-in with Jessica Rose to look at how far you have come and start thinking about the next stage of your business.

 

* please note we reserve the right to make changes to the curriculum along with updates and development of the programme

 
 

with you every step of the way…

The training is only one part of the Jewellery Business Academy.

You’ll be learning from jewellery business professionals with decades of experience building successful businesses, growing brands, marketing jewellery and selling to customers. You can benefit from what they already know, rather than having to figure every part of it out from scratch yourself.

Plus, throughout the year you’ll also have small-group mentoring calls, quarterly business check-ins, community support and your individual one-to-one session. So when you get stuck, have a question or need another pair of eyes on something, you have experienced people there to help you work out what to do next and keep moving forward.

And if you want an even deeper level of individual support, you can also add our new 12-month Business Mentoring Programme for ongoing one-to-one guidance throughout the year.

Who is it for?

 
 

 You might already have a jewellery business. You might be right at the beginning of turning your jewellery making into one.

Either way, you know that making the jewellery is only one part of it.

You also need to know what to focus on, how to price your work, how to find customers, what to say about what you make, how to market it, how to sell it and how all of those pieces fit together into a business that actually works.

The Jewellery Business Academy is for you if:

  • You want to take your jewellery business seriously but aren’t always sure what you should be focusing on next.

  • You have lots of ideas but need more structure and accountability to turn them into action.

  • You want to understand the business side properly rather than piecing together advice from lots of different places.

  • You want to make more sales and build a business that is financially sustainable.

  • You know there are areas of your business you have been avoiding, perhaps pricing, email marketing, your website or actually selling.

  • You would value regular access to people who understand the jewellery industry and the particular challenges of building a business within it.

  • You want to be part of a community of other jewellers who are working on their businesses alongside you.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you join.

That is what the year is for


 

Imagine where your business could be by this time next year

The goal of the Jewellery Business Academy isn’t to give you twelve months of information.

It is to give you twelve months in which to work on your business.

Across the year, you’ll step back from the day-to-day making and give proper attention to the things that help a jewellery business grow.

You’ll get clearer about the business you are building and the customers you want to reach. You’ll strengthen your brand and product range. You’ll improve how you photograph, market and present your jewellery. You’ll look properly at your pricing and profitability. You’ll build your email list, improve your website and become more confident about launching and selling your work.

And because you are doing it across a full year, you have time to put things into practice, see what happens, ask for help and make changes as you go.

By the end of the Academy, we want you to have more than a folder full of course notes - we want you to have a stronger business.

A business where you understand what drives your sales. Where your pricing makes sense. Where your marketing has a purpose. Where you know who your customers are and how to reach them. And where you have a plan for what comes next.

This Programme is CPD Accredited

The Jewellery Business Academy is not simply about consuming business training.

It is about putting what you learn into practice and developing the skills you need to run a stronger, more sustainable jewellery business.

The programme includes 85 hours of CPD-accredited learning, and students who complete the required elements of the Academy can gain recognition as an Accredited Jewellery Business Specialist.

That means you are not only spending the year working on your own business. You are also building a broad understanding of the key areas involved in running a jewellery business - from branding, marketing and photography to pricing, profitability, websites, selling and customer experience.

It gives you something tangible to show for the work you have put in across the year, alongside the changes you will have made within your business itself.

 

 
 

Additional Mentoring

 
 

The Jewellery Business Academy already gives you a full year of training, support, accountability and expert guidance to help you build your jewellery business.

For 2027, you can also choose to add 12 months of individual business mentoring

Mentoring gives you dedicated one-to-one time to focus on your particular business - your goals, your challenges, your decisions and what you need to work on next.

You’ll receive six private 45-minute mentoring sessions across the year with one mentor who gets to know you and your business.

The sessions are designed to take place roughly every other month, giving you time between meetings to put things into action, but there is flexibility to use them differently depending on what is happening in your business and when you most need support.

You might want to use a session to talk through a new collection, work out why your marketing isn’t converting into sales, look at your numbers, make a decision you’ve been going backwards and forwards on, or plan the next stage of growth.

You’ll be matched with a mentor whose experience fits the areas where you most want support, giving you continuity across the year as well as advice that is specific to your business.

It’s an optional extra for those who want a deeper level of personalised support alongside everything already included in the Jewellery Business Academy.

 
 

How it works


You’ll complete a questionnaire telling us about your business, where your business is now and the areas you particularly want support with. We’ll then match you with one of our experienced jewellery business mentors whose expertise fits the areas you want to work on. You’ll then have six private 45-minute Zoom mentoring sessions, approximately one every two months across the year.

We expect mentoring sessions to begin from February once matching has taken place, but the programme is deliberately flexible. Your sessions can be arranged across the year to suit your business and the times when you most need support.


What could you use your mentoring for?

Your mentoring is tailored to you. You might use your sessions to work on:

  • Your business direction and priorities

  • Increasing sales

  • Pricing and profitability

  • Marketing and visibility

  • Instagram or email marketing

  • Your website

  • Launching a collection

  • Product strategy

  • Organisation and productivity

  • Growing an established jewellery business

  • Working through a particular challenge or decision

Or something entirely different.

The point is that you choose what would make the biggest difference to your business.

But isn't one-to-one mentoring already included in the JBA?

Yes and we’re keeping it in.

Every Jewellery Business Academy student receives ONE 45-minute one-to-one session as part of the core programme.

That session gives you the opportunity to choose a specialist from our team and get expert input into one particular area of your business.

Students have found the mentoring incredibly valuable so we decided to offer an extended option to those that want it.

The optional mentoring package is different.

With the mentoring package, you are matched with one mentor for the year and meet with them regularly. They get to know your business, your goals and what you are working on, giving you continuity as well as accountability.

And because your JBA one-to-one remains separate, you can still choose to use that session with another member of the team if you want access to a different area of expertise.

Think of the Jewellery Business Academy as your training, structure and community, and the mentoring package as an additional layer of individual guidance for your business.

Who can join the Business Mentoring Programme?

The mentoring programme is exclusively available to members and alumni of the Jewellery Business Academy.

You can add mentoring if:

You are joining the Jewellery Business Academy for 2027.

You can enrol in the Academy and add the 12-month mentoring programme at the same time.

You are currently studying on the Jewellery Business Academy in 2026.

You do not need to repeat the JBA in 2027. You can join the mentoring programme on its own and continue receiving individual support as you put what you have learned into practice.

You have previously completed the Jewellery Business Academy.

You can return for a year of individual mentoring without enrolling in the Academy again. But you must be a current or previous Jewellery Business Academy student to access the mentoring programme.

The Business Mentoring Programme is available exclusively to current and previous JBA students, because it is designed to build on the training and resources already inside the Academy rather than replace them.

The Course Tutors


Learn from people who know jewellery business

There is plenty of general business advice available but a jewellery business has its own particular challenges.

You are balancing creativity with commercial decisions. You need to understand materials, making time and margins. Your products have to be photographed well. Customers need to trust what they are buying online. Collections need to work creatively and financially. And the way you market and sell jewellery is not always the same as the way you would sell another product or service.

That is why the Jewellery Business Academy is taught and supported by people with real experience of the jewellery industry.

Across the programme, you’ll learn from jewellery business professionals with decades of combined experience building brands, growing businesses, marketing jewellery, selling online and in person, and helping other jewellers do the same.

They are not there simply to teach you a theory and leave you to work out how it applies.

Through the training, mentoring calls, business check-ins and one-to-one support, you have opportunities to ask questions about your business and benefit from the experience of people who have already navigated many of the decisions you are making now.

You can still experiment. You can still decide what works for you.

But you don’t have to learn everything the slow way.

 Mentors


Your one-to-one mentoring support

Alongside the expert teaching inside the Academy, we have experienced jewellery business mentors who work directly with students.

Your included one-to-one session gives you the opportunity to get individual support with an area of your business where you would particularly value another perspective.

Our mentoring team includes jewellery business owners who understand the realities of building and running a creative business because they have done it themselves.

And if you choose to add the 12-month Business Mentoring Programme, we’ll ask you about your business, your priorities and what you most want help with before matching you with one mentor for the year.

You’re learning from a range of specialists throughout the Jewellery Business Academy, while your individual mentoring is provided by people whose role is to get to know your particular business and help you work through what comes next.

When does the Jewellery Business Academy 2027 start?

The programme starts on 4th January 2027 and runs until end of December 2027.

Enrolment opens on 13th October 2026 and closes on 18th January 2027. This is the only Jewellery Business Academy intake for 2027.


I’m only just starting my jewellery business. Is the JBA suitable for me?

Yes. You don’t need to have an established jewellery business before you join.

The Academy is designed both for jewellers who are in the early stages of starting a business and those who are already selling and want to strengthen and grow what they have.

The important thing is that you want to take the business side of your jewellery seriously and are ready to spend time working on it throughout the year.


How much time should I set aside?

The JBA is designed to fit around running your business and the rest of your life.

Each month you’ll have pre-recorded training to work through, followed by practical actions to apply to your own business. The amount of time you spend will vary depending on the topic and how deeply you want to work on it. We'd recommend a minimum of 2 hours per week as a guide.

We recommend setting aside regular time each week wherever possible. This isn’t about racing through course content - the value comes from actually implementing what you learn in your business.


Is the training live or pre-recorded?

The core monthly training is pre-recorded, so you can watch it at a time that suits you.

Your live support includes small-group mentoring calls and quarterly business check-ins over Zoom.

We have students in different time zones and will ask about availability when organising the mentoring groups.


Do I get lifetime access to the JBA?

No. The Jewellery Business Academy is a one-year programme, running from January to December.

That is deliberate. The Academy is designed to give you structure, support, deadlines and accountability so that you work on your business during the year rather than buying another course to come back to someday.


What one-to-one support is included in the JBA?

Every JBA student receives one 45-minute individual mentoring session as part of the programme.

We’ll match you with someone from our team whose expertise fits the area of your business you would most like help with.

This is included whether or not you choose to add the 12-month Business Mentoring Programme.


What is the 12-month Business Mentoring add-on?

The Business Mentoring Programme gives you ongoing individual support alongside the Jewellery Business Academy.

You’ll receive six private 45-minute Zoom sessions with one mentor across the year.

The sessions are designed to take place approximately every other month, giving you time to take action between meetings, although there is flexibility around when you use them depending on what is happening in your business and when you most need support.


How is the mentoring add-on different from the one-to-one session included in the JBA?

Your JBA already includes one individual 45-minute session with a jewellery business expert.

The mentoring add-on gives you six additional 45-minute sessions with the same mentor across the year.

That continuity means your mentor gets to know your business, what you are working towards and what has happened since your previous conversation.

You can also use your included JBA one-to-one with a different member of the team if you would like specialist input in another area.


How will I be matched with my business mentor?

Before the mentoring begins, we’ll send you a questionnaire asking about your business, your goals and the areas where you would most like support.

We’ll use this to match you with a mentor whose experience is a good fit for what you want to work on.

Rather than choosing a mentor simply by name, the aim is to make sure you are paired with someone whose expertise can genuinely help you move your business forward.


When will the individual mentoring start?

We expect the first mentoring sessions to begin from February 2027, once we have received everyone’s questionnaires and completed the matching process.

You’ll then have six sessions to use across the mentoring year.


What can I use my mentoring sessions for?

That depends entirely on what is happening in your business.

You might want help with your marketing, Instagram, branding, sales, pricing, a new collection, launching, your website, your business direction or a decision you have been struggling to make.

The advantage of one-to-one mentoring is that the conversation can focus on what is most useful to you at that point in your business.


Do I have to add the mentoring to join the JBA?

No.

The Jewellery Business Academy is a complete year-long programme of training, group mentoring, accountability, community and support in its own right.

The 12-month mentoring is an optional additional level of support for those who would benefit from regular individual time focused specifically on their own business.


Can I join the Business Mentoring Programme without joining JBA 2027?

The Business Mentoring Programme is only available to current and previous Jewellery Business Academy students.

If you are currently enrolled on JBA 2026 or have previously completed the Academy, you can join the mentoring programme without repeating the JBA.

We’ll contact eligible students and alumni separately with information about how to enrol.


Why do I need to be a current or previous JBA student to access the Business Mentoring Programme?

We designed the Business Mentoring Programme as a higher-level layer of support for people who already have access to the comprehensive business training inside the Jewellery Business Academy.

There is a huge amount of practical content within the JBA covering the foundations of building and growing a jewellery business — from branding, products and photography to marketing, websites, pricing, email marketing and selling.

We want your individual mentoring time to build on that foundation rather than replace it.

That means your sessions can focus more deeply on your particular business: the decisions you are making, what you have already tried, where you are getting stuck and what would help you move forward.

Of course, the sessions are yours and you can use them to discuss whatever is most useful to you. But by making mentoring available exclusively to current and previous JBA students, we know you already have access to the core training and resources, allowing the mentoring relationship to go further.


How do I achieve the CPD accreditation?

The Jewellery Business Academy includes 85 CPD hours and, on successful completion of the requirements, you will be certified as an Accredited Jewellery Business Specialist.

We’ll give you full guidance at the start of the programme. The requirements include engaging with the monthly training, attending the required number of live mentoring sessions, attending your included individual mentoring session and submitting your Jewellery Business Growth Plan for assessment.

The optional 12-month mentoring add-on is separate from the requirements for achieving your JBA accreditation


Is the accreditation recognised internationally?

Yes. The CPD Certification Service is internationally recognised, so the accreditation is relevant whether you are based in the UK or elsewhere.


I’m not in the UK. Can I still join?

Yes. We have students from around the world.

The core training is pre-recorded, so you can study at times that suit your time zone, and we offer a range of times for the live support sessions.

The programme focuses on the principles and practical actions involved in building a profitable jewellery business. Where something is specifically UK-based — for example, hallmarking or particular business requirements — we will make that clear.


When do payments start if I choose a payment plan?

Your payment plan begins when you enrol and payments are then taken on the same date each month.

For example, if you enrol on the 8th, your subsequent payments will normally be taken on the 8th of each month.

Both the Jewellery Business Academy and the JBA + Business Mentoring option are available with a 12-month payment plan.


Can I pay in a currency other than pounds sterling?

Yes. You can join from outside the UK.

Your payment provider will show the amount in your currency when you purchase, and the exact amount may vary according to the exchange rate.


Is the JBA eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan?

No. Jewellers Academy is a private education provider, so the programme is not eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan.

We offer payment plans to allow you to spread the cost of the programme.
