• Like how you desperately want to get a cool job and work for a brand that you admire..but you don’t know how to package yourself for the opportunity or you hesitate to believe you could even be qualified.
• Or Like how you second guess the knowledge that you do have and wish you had more ‘real world knowledge’ and experience….. But you don’t yet know what you don’t know.
• Like how you obsessively follow accounts of brands that inspire you, but never thought you could or have no idea how to present yourself to them to be a part of their team.
• And Like how you know the jewelry business can seem very mysterious, but you want to break down the barriers and make connections anyway.

Hey, I see you, stalking those jewelry brands on IG! (You look great, btw!)

You’re having that same convo you’ve been having with yourself for ages now about your jewelry career.

Option 1: You can continue to just dream without a gameplan. Or try to achieve your goals by taking it on all by yourself, googling, watching youtube videos, and attempting to piece together overwhelming amounts of abstract information

Or

Option 2: You can take action and develop a plan for achieving the jewelry career of your dreams by working with a carefully curated framework to guide and support you through your journey.

If you’re like most, especially when just starting out - you’re feeling a little lost and you’re looking for clear steps to achieve growth in the career that you daydream about - but you simply don’t know where to begin.

And though you sometimes may doubt yourself or this industry, trust me - that feeling of wanting to pursue your passion doesn’t ever go away. So you should never give up on it.

I know this because there were plenty of questions that at first, I never would have even thought to ask, like...

How do I present myself as creative?

How do I learn about pricing and working with vendors?

How do I learn about jewelry assembly and making sure the pieces I design fit and move with the body properly?

How do I properly communicate my creative vision so that it comes out how I intended?

I spent years teaching myself information to make sense of this and to help me excel in my design role.

BUT once I did crack the code as a designer and learned exactly how to maximize my creative output and package it well, that’s when I realized what’s really required to become a quality jewelry creator and also how to become one of the jewelry pros I once looked up to.

Like pitching myself for the roles I wanted with confidence, designing frequent red carpet pieces for A-list celebs and literal royal families, and securing my own clients to design independently, or consulting famous brands on optimizing their production teams and enhancing their success.

By the end of this course you’ll have….

- A deeper understanding of your own aesthetic and how to train your design eye to see inspiration all around you
- A thorough grasp of advanced mood boarding

I remember way back when I first started my jewelry design journey - I kept searching for someone to help me improve both my portfolio and technical production knowledge, but unfortunately, that just didn’t exist yet. I had to figure it out all on my own and it was really exhausting… I would have given SO MUCH just to have a one - stop shop that would teach me what I really needed to know.

That’s why I created this course: so you don’t have to waste time figuring your sh*t out, and instead you can spend your time actually making jewelry you love and creating the jewelry career of your dreams.

I know it can be hard to take the plunge - whether it’s a fear of failure, fear of wasting money or something else. But I know that you can do this.

I’m rooting for you BIG TIME, and I’m so excited to welcome you to The Jewel School community.

Love and diamonds ,

Cali
