The art of jewelry making is rooted in precision—combining expert fabrication skills and stone setting techniques to craft a piece that will endure. So, whether you are drawn to the creative design process or to the technical skills required to make and repair jewelry, the science and math knowledge needed to do it well are rooted in centuries of jewelry design and will continue to propel the art of jewelry forward for centuries to come.
