Discover OUR STORY and YOUR potential!
The perfect place to learn about the jewelry trade.
You can learn through specialized training in the same basic techniques, fundamentals and proficiencies as students taught as apprentice's going back to the year 1430 AD and older. Standards of excellence and skill unmatched and unrivaled by any other system of learning.
Miami Jewelry School believes in teaching with excellence. We feel that such an intricate trade cannot be learned in a day, or even a week. It takes time, practice and trial and error to become a real good jeweler. We respect the trade and believe that training professionals should not be rushed. Our facilities are also a representation of excellence. Our students train with the best and latest jewelry tools, equipment and technology. Our benches are fully equipped and resemble a professional environment.
My plans are to join my family jewelry business and a (after much practice) eventually become our primary jeweler and designer making custom pieces for our family line. The training has been fantastic. My family and I know I am receiving an excellent quality foundation to build upon and I would not attend any other school. Marc's philosophy, technique, and training methods are the best available and I am very happy to be here!

I was genuinely sad to leave MJS after getting my diplomas; the staff and students were great. I really left feeling accomplishment and that I had a far greater understanding and appreciation for the craftsmanship required, though I still have a lot of practice to be a master like Marc. I found the first stages of fabrication course a bit tough as I learnt to file and cut, but then the course just got better and better. I could do the course all over again with pleasure. Marc had so much patience with the students, which displayed a range of aptitude and skill levels. Marc provides one on one instruction and even when he's not standing with the students is aware of where they are up to and their technique. Thank you.

Making an informed and right decision
There are many schools available for teaching you the basics of jewelry making, however in jewelry making, learning the basics is only one part. It’s the skill, expertise and proficiency of the instructor that makes a big difference. So when you compare us to other schools take in the consideration of your teachers expertise and how long they have been in an actual jewelry business. Has your teacher been a jeweler and for how many years? Has he been active in retail and wholesale? Does he know about Trade shows. Would he be able to answer all of you jewelry related questions?
