The New York Jewelry Design Institute is dedicated to helping beginners and professionals develop the skills they need to compete and thrive in today’s jewelry industry. By offering a series of in-depth courses, hands-on training, expert teachers, and lectures and presentations from some of the top names in the New York and global jewelry business, NYJDI provides a mix of science, art, craftsmanship and computer technology that leads our students to become fully dimensional artisans, designers and businesspeople. Conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan, the school is planning to extend its reach by developing a series of webinars and distance education modules that will allow students to take part in their courses from the comfort of their own homes and offices. Thanks to Director Jenine Lepera Izzi’s focus on networking and building business relationships, the school is also an excellent resource for students to make connections with many influential professionals throughout the jewelry world.
