@miteramade: I’m a firm believer that with serious obsession and persistence, you can teach yourself just about anything! 🙌🏼🎉🩷 There are so many routes to getting into making jewelry: education/trade school like GRS, Gerardi fine setting, online courses, New approach. Or shorter classes like mine, For Good and Mad, Foxtail Jewlery, Midnight Kiss Jewelry and so many others. Or you can jump in on your own, you and the internet! 🎉 Maybe even an apprenticeship at a mom and pop shop. Whatever you have to do, you can find or make a way in. 🙌🏼🩷 other great resources are: Metalsmith Society, The Art of Metalsmithing, Johnny Oro insta subscription for stone setting and engraving. SO many people out there sharing good info. 🙌🏼#jewelrydesigner #smalljewelrybusiness #jewelrytiktok #jewelrybusiness #jeweler
