Ayaka Nishi Jewelry School is a private jewelry school that is in the private studio of a jewelry artist. We provide semi-private classes with a small number of only seven students per class. From the 1st class experience, curriculum, you can choose beginner's course of all 12 times, wax course, such as free production class, depending on the purpose.
For a student with no experience of jewelry production, I will teach you carefully from scratch. Would you like to partake in jewelry making fun together in an artistic space in a home-like environment?
You will create pieces from nothing by welding using a gas burner, or setting the stones. You can use all tools provided in the studio.
We are conveniently located in the East Village where many other artists live. Because it is a studio run by an active jewelry designer, it is an artistic space decorated with her own work.
Ayaka is the founder of Ayaka Nishi Jewelry Design School and teaches selected weekly classes while overseeing the curriculum and training all instructors.
Our instructional team has been personally trained by Ayaka Nishi to ensure a consistent, high-quality learning experience.

Jewelry Making Continuing Course
Arkady M. • August 31, 2025
It was one of the most amazing experiences for me. It inspired me to continue learning the art of jewelry making, and explore more techniques of this hard, and rewarding art forms. Ms. Ayaka Nishi inspires people to bring their own ideas, and helps in getting to their goals creating their own vision of the art piece. She is also very flexible with days that a student wants to visit for the class. I want to thank Ms. Nishi for the great experience that I had, and I would definitely highly recommend this class to anyone who is either beginner or even a professional, and who wants to bring their ideas of creating their own wonderful jewelry piece.
