Teaching Tailored to You
At Stephen Barnett Jewellery, I offer bespoke, specialist training in both traditional and modern jewellery-making techniques, designed entirely around your individual goals and learning style.
With over 25 years of industry experience as a professional goldsmith and qualified jewellery tutor, I teach not just the how but the why behind every process — giving you the confidence, understanding, and technical skill to apply what you learn directly to your own jewellery practice.
My one-to-one in-person classes provide complete flexibility. Whether you’d like to book structured sessions with clear outcomes or create a custom learning plan to focus on specific techniques, each course is tailored to suit your needs. I also offer two-person classes for friends, colleagues, or partners who wish to learn together.
Training can cover a wide range of jewellery manufacturing and design skills, including:
Mount making and stone setting
Wax carving and casting preparation
CAD for jewellery design
Finishing, polishing, and practical bench skills
Whether you’re a professional jeweller refining your craft or a beginner eager to learn the fundamentals, I’ll work with you to create a personalised, supportive, and practical learning experience.
If you’re looking to develop your jewellery manufacturing skills in a focused and flexible way, this is the perfect place to begin.

Combine a variety of stone-setting styles in one course
Design and carve a stone-set ring in wax, then cast, finish, and set it
Develop a complex hand-fabricated mount with step-by-step guidance
Learn CAD jewellery design and then bring your digital models into the workshop to finish and set them with professional support
Whatever your focus, I’ll help you design a personalised program of learning that covers the specific techniques, materials, and tools you’re most interested in.
