【Tokyo, Japan】Enrollment Open for ‘Jewelry Designer Training Course’ for August-September Term, Learnable Online Even in Hot Summer! – Jewelry and Gem

Editor’s Note

Digital Jewelry Co., Ltd. is now accepting applications for its online “Jewelry Designer Training Course,” aimed at beginners. The program seeks to nurture new talent for the digital age in the jewelry industry.

Acquiring Skills Possible Even for Beginners in the Jewelry Industry

Digital Jewelry Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yoshihisa Sato) has begun accepting applications for the August-September term of its online “Jewelry Designer Training Course” starting from Friday, June 5, 2023. This initiative aims to cultivate new jewelry designers and create a jewelry world suited for the digital era.

Hands-on Lectures Using 3D-CAD Software

Our company, which operates this training course, is dedicated to digitizing the jewelry business. In the jewelry industry, processes such as planning/design, manufacturing, and sales are often separate. Furthermore, jewelry production requires high-level craftsmanship, which is one reason why IT adoption has been slow. Conversely, it is an industry with significant potential for transformation if digitalization advances. By taking our training course, even those with no prior experience in the jewelry industry can design jewelry using a computer, unrestricted by location.

“Previously, to become an independent jewelry designer in the industry, connections with technical or specialized professionals were necessary. Even for ring manufacturing, the process of creating a prototype, making a plaster mold, casting, and polishing the ring required significant capital to set up in-house. Our course participants are granted the right to use our 3D printer-made resin for direct casting. For parts requiring artisan skills, we provide full support. This allows participants to debut as jewelry designers with minimal capital while gaining experience.”

About the Course

The Jewelry Designer Training Course enables participants to master design techniques using jewelry CAD software on a computer over two months. As a practical component, rings designed by students will be modeled using 3D printers at our own factory, and the finished products, including casting and finishing, will be provided.

After Graduation

After graduation, various options are available, such as directly selling designed jewelry to acquaintances or customers, listing designed jewelry on our company’s sales website, or becoming an instructor for the Jewelry Designer Training Course.
