Future bench jeweler in the making! I’m currently taking GIA courses
for G.G. certification, with hopes to take the bench jewelers’
studies in Carlsbad. I really don’t want to go out of town that far
for 6-8 months, so if there’s another program closer to Missouri
I’ll definitely consider it. Ri ght now I’m in the middle of planning
a studio/gem lab for grading and appraisals. I want to use this
forum to get some ideas on pro/cons of equipment, both for gem
ID/sales and small scale jewelry manufacturing.
Any ideas you may have would be much appreciated!

I am a new-ish jewelry designer/silversmtih out of Cleveland, Ohio
who works primarily with sterling and semi-precious stones. Right now
I am focused on trying to get my peices into stores and experimenting
with CAD and casting. I have had some success running my own kiosk
and website. I love de signing with organic elements and am always
looking for new techniques that I can incorporate and learn.
