Jewelry Design

This training is designed for students who want to explore all the possible options of jewellery design across its different areas of application. It is also for those who wish to acquire the know-how required to successfully work with their creative skills and style. We will take you through all the steps of the creative process -whether you have an artistic background and have already experienced making jewellery on your own, or whether you are just starting out in the field. You will become familiar with the use of manual and technological tools, feeling more confident as you prepare to move into your future career as a Jewellery Designer. Together with your IED classmates and lecturers, you will understand how important it is to challenge yourself, working as part of a learning community. You will also practice the skills acquired over the years as you join international competitions with your fellows, and meet designers from leading companies who will introduce you to the secrets of the trade. You will shape your own creative style mixing hands-on skills and the digital knowledge of 3D design.

Title – The First Level Academic Diploma is recognized by MIUR (Ministry for Education, University and Research) and equated with the Bachelor’s Degree issued by Universities.

The Jewellery Design Undergraduate Programme at IED Milano will give you the opportunity to build your own creative style as a well-rounded Jewellery Designer. Starting from the basics, you will learn how to work independently across all the steps of a jewellery collection project, covering all aspects of the design process, from concept development to prototyping and implementation. With a curious and open-minded approach to all areas of creativeness involved in Jewellery Design, you will acquire an overall perspective where jewellery can be understood as a work of art, with concept being the core value, and also as a fashion product that can interact with clothes, with high jewellery as its most sublime expression. Working in small classes to encourage discussion and exchange of views, you will come into contact with students from international backgrounds who share with you the opportunity of an English-language learning experience, opening up to an international perspective on design as a starting point for shaping new ideas. You will have the opportunity to challenge yourself as you design and produce different collections, working with agencies, businesses and institutions, where you will gain first-hand insights into the production system. You will take part in workshops held by well-known designers and attend international contests where you will have the opportunity to present your work. As this training provides full coverage of specialist skills and activities, step by step you will learn how to carry out projects of growing complexity that will eventually contribute to your overall work portfolio. This will be your go-to tool for accessing a market niche that has great appeal and can provide exciting career opportunities as you move ahead.
