Unique Jewellery Making Techniques

Uncommon Jewellery Making Techniques, Signature Skills and Deeper meaning of Craft.

From the ancient soft and linear Mitsuro Hikime to the delicate precision of Hand-Carving Mother of Pearl and setting Gemstone Inlays, these courses rich in texture, provide a jewellery making experience.

Each technique expands your creative potential. They're not only about learning something rare; but also about seeing differently, thinking differently, and developing an understanding of how to combine these unique methods with classic foundations like silversmithing and wax carving.

Stelios made these jewellery workshops suitable for all levels. Whether you're new to jewellery making or with years of experience, guided accordingly, everyone approaches these processes uniquely — and grows in their own way. What matters most is curiosity, patience, and a desire to engage with the craft.
