This training is for professional development purposes, and the certificate awarded does not replace the MYK authorization certificate required for MYK-authorized trainings.

Program Objective

Jewelry making refers to the process of shaping precious/non-precious metals and non-metal materials into artistic pieces using techniques that have been evolving over time. In this training, you will learn how to create precious jewelry by applying traditional techniques in the jewelry workshop. With a broad content, this course will allow you to gain knowledge and vision in design, metalworking, soldering, polishing, and finishing, and will help you develop your dexterity. Additionally, you will gain theoretical knowledge on communication and entrepreneurship.

Program Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will acquire the following knowledge and skills:

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

Training Requirements

The necessary tools and equipment for the above-mentioned applications include: saw, various sizes of saw blades, files, pliers, metal shears, various sizes of sandpaper, metal plates, wires, and semi-precious stones for practical applications.

The training is open to institutional cooperation (for legal entities such as institutions/companies), and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be reorganized according to the profile and needs of the institutional participants. After mutual discussions, the scope and method of the training (Face-to-Face, Online) will be determined, and the relevant processes will be completed. Once an agreement is reached, the suitable days and times for your institution's participants and our instructors will be determined, and the training location will be set.
