Jewelers and Jewelry Repairers

Tips for Entry

If you're interested in designing your own jewelry, educate yourself on all aspects of design. Study popular styles of jewelry and current and past trends.

Focus on a type or style of jewelry to set you apart from others in the field and create a portfolio of your work. This could be in the form of a set of high-quality color photos, photos and descriptions on the Internet, or even sample pieces that display your best work.

If possible, complete an internship or an apprenticeship with a jeweler. If an apprenticeship isn't available, working as an intern or as a sales associate in a boutique is the next best thing. You can get valuable hands-on experience and training.
