    It was AWESOME! I feel so lucky to have been a part of the class--the instructor was INCREDIBLE, and the space was great! HIGHLY recommended!
  • Rapid Rendering for Jewelry Designers

    Reviewed by Erin Curtin on 3/16/2016
    I would suggest taking a class at NYJDI to anyone who asks. I have taken 3 courses and enjoyed all of them. I've learned so much and have been able to incorporate it in my professional work and my side business.
  • Manufacturing & Global Sourcing for Jewelry

    Reviewed by Kimberly de Geer on 3/16/2016
    Very instructive workshop filled with thorough information about sourcing and manufacturing in the US and internationally. Also enough time to go over everything. The only thing I would recommend would be some visuals either in the form of a slideshow or pamphlets because it is quite a long workshop and visuals are always a good way to entertain an audience.
  • Tour Manhattan’s Elite Jewelry District– 47th St.

    Reviewed by Kimberly de Geer on 3/16/2016
    This tour was exceptional and very thorough. We visited 5 companies/workshops (casting, wholesale, lapidary and more) and were exposed to all sides of the jewelry-making process from wax carving to CAD and 3D printing and received insightful advice from key players in the industry! Thank you NYJDI and Raymond for a fantastic tour!
