This Jewellery Making Fundamentals Level 3 course consists of six structured lectures, followed by an assessment, each addressing a core area of advanced jewellery craft and professional awareness.
The course begins with advanced metalwork techniques, exploring precious metal alloys, soldering methods, surface texturing, embellishment, and stone setting principles. Learners then progress to advanced design and concept development, focusing on audience-led design, sketching and rendering, gemstone integration, and developing a signature style.
Advanced stone setting techniques examine prong, bezel, channel, and pavé settings from a skills-awareness perspective, supporting understanding of accuracy, durability, and aesthetic balance. Advanced jewellery construction introduces filigree, granulation, chain making, linkages, hinges, clasps, and hollowware techniques.
Jewellery repair and restoration cover assessment of repairs, soldering and welding awareness, stone replacement, polishing, and finishing, with emphasis on craftsmanship care and ethical restoration practices. Business and marketing for jewellery designers introduce workshop setup awareness, pricing and costing principles, marketing strategies, sales channels, and intellectual property considerations.
The course concludes with an assessment evaluating learners’ understanding of Jewellery Making techniques, design principles, and professional awareness.
