Jewelry making is the activity of shaping valuable and non-valuable metals and non-metallic raw materials into works of art using techniques that have been passed down from the past to the present. In this training, you will learn how to make valuable jewelry using traditional techniques in a jewelry workshop. This course will provide you with knowledge and vision about design, metal processing, soldering, polishing, and finishing, while also helping you develop your hand skills. Additionally, you will gain theoretical knowledge about communication and entrepreneurship.

Program Outcomes:

Participants who successfully complete the program will have the following knowledge and skills:

• Recognition of metals commonly used in jewelry, silver alloy preparation processes, and silver fineness calculations.
• Recognition and use of traditional tools and equipment used in the jewelry workshop.
• Wire and sheet shaping.
• Cutting and drilling processes of wires and sheets.
• Metal filing.
• Annealing and soldering metals.
• Stone setting techniques (claw setting, prong setting).
• Polishing and finishing the product.
