    Loved the teacher, material learned and the cost was reasonable too!
  • Intro to Gold

    Reviewed by Claire S. on 12/28/2018
    The Intro to Gold (Gold I) was just what I wanted to learn about using gold as a jewelry material. I had prior experience with making working silver and brass into rings, but was curious how to work with gold as a unique material. The methods of jewelry-making are many but I appreciated the classical techniques that this class engaged. The projects touched upon soldering, forming and bezel making for a stone of our choice. So I learned a little about gems as well. It will take more than one class to make what I want though, so I’m signing up for Gold II!
  • Granulation Demystified (Summer Intensive)

    Anonymous review on 9/5/2016
    The individualized teaching was superb (thank you, Jeanette) and the environment was wonderfully supportive. You work at your own pace. You learn by doing and by repetition when watching other students undertaking similar processes. It was truly intensive and I learned so much. Thank you again!
  • Granulation Demystified (Summer Intensive)

    Reviewed by Chris on 8/26/2016
    JAI is really a jewel in NYC. Jeanette, who is the chief instructor and proprietor, has found her vocation ( aside from being an unbelievably talented goldsmith) in teaching and mentoring students, with an endless supply of patience and encouragement. She never loses her cool, no matter how many times she has to repeat herself; she is always funny and upbeat, and she understands that students progress at their own pace. Also, she has filled her staff with jewelers/instructors who are like in spirit-- patient and clear. All her teachers will always stop and answer your question; everyone is very kind. The studio has a nice mix of professional jewelers who sell their work and students learning the craft. Jeanette seems to attract people who are really nice, friendly people and helpful as well. It is a very supportive space, which is important for beginning students who need to be around accomplished jewelers but dont want to feel intimidated. The studio is extremely well-equiped, and well maintained, and feels spacious. Melissa, who is the receptionist and office administrator as well as a professonal jeweler, is unbelievalby helpful with anything you need to know. Both Savannah and Valerie ( other instructors I have had ) are top notch. I would give JAI 10 stars if I could. Great place; you cannot go wrong here.

    This was a fantastic course. I learned a lot about how to take 24 gold, alloy it to 22k and 20k. I'm now not hesitant to work with gold. The instructors are very knowledgeable and were extremely helpful. The studio is clean and very easy to work in.
