Practical guides on jewellery design, written by the people who teach it.
These guides are written by the people who teach here — a faculty of working jewellery designers and gemologists with 13 to 18+ years in the trade, led by founder-mentor Rayala Rahul Rao, a National award-winning designer and GIA Gemologist & Diamond Graduate. We write about what we actually teach: hand sketching before software, how settings and joints behave, what a portfolio needs before you show it to a studio, and how the manual-to-CAD progression works in practice.
Our students have won the National Jewellery Awards “Student of the Year” title for four consecutive years, 2022 through 2025. Where a post makes a claim about fees, durations or outcomes, it reflects what we run — not an industry average.
New guides go up as we finish teaching a topic, so the advice reflects what is currently working in the trade rather than what worked five years ago. If there is something you want covered, tell us on the contact page and we will write it.
