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.

Hi! Did you know Jewel Envy has a bunch of classes you can take in house and get hands on experience in making jewellery?

We have instructors that are very skilled in their trade to lead you through your goldsmithing experience.

As classes start all over the country in September, we here at Jewel Envy are also preparing to welcome sparkly new students into our Fabrication classes for September and October.

Whether you are curious, committed, or looking to keep busy in a creative way, we have the class for you.

Fabrication is the method of making jewellery by putting together parts, in this case, by hand. Our fabrication classes are designed to teach you the skills to not only make an assigned project, but make something from your own imagination. They are the skills of goldsmiths, and you can take them as far as you are willing to go.

In our Introductory Fabrication class, starting Sept 17th and going every Wednesday for 8 weeks, we teach sawing, piercing, filing, soldering, riveting, texturing techniques, and how to make simple findings.

Take a look at what some of our Intro students do with those skills in class with a bit of Stirling silver, copper, and brass:

For students who have already finished our Intro course, Intermediate Fabrication class starting in October to build on those skills, while exploring new skills like setting. We also introduce forming techniques using dapping blocks and the hydraulic press.
