The GIA Jewelry Design program is a comprehensive, nine-week certificate course that offers students an in-depth understanding of jewellery design theory and artistry, teaching them the professional skills to illustrate their ideas.

Khushi Solankia, student of Jewelry Design certificate course, said, \u201cI have always been a design enthusiast. So, when I decided to pursue jewellery designing, GIA was the first Institute that came to my mind. The course not only taught us about designing, but also about pricing. The factory visit gave us an opportunity to experience the practical aspects of jewellery manufacturing. After nine weeks, I feel completely ready to step into the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
