My experience at Jewel Envy as a co-op student. I am a Michael Power Saint Joseph high-school student who took co-op and chose to do it at Jewel Envy. Co-op is a course that allows students to go and apply to a placement to do work at instead of doing standard classes. I chose to apply to Jewel Envy, because it seemed like a very clean, polite, and interesting place. As well I was interested in making jewellery, and Jewel Envy makes high quality hand made jewellery. Doing co-op here is an amazing experience, because everyone is so nice, polite, and helpful. I also learned new useful skills such as how to make jewellery, how to take care of the store, and how to take care of jewellery. Learning, especially how jewellery is made is an incredibly fun and interesting experience. In conclusion I really enjoy doing my co-op here and would recommend stopping by the shop.
These are both rings I have learned to make during my co-op time. The first is a phases of the moon ring made using fabrication skills and the second is a snake that wraps around the finger that I carved from wax and then cast into metal. Both are made of sterling silver.
