Luxury Learning for Jewelry Design

The rapid rendering and advanced rendering classes at the New York Jewelry Design Institute were exactly what I needed. I came in self‑taught, and the training brought my skills up to industry standard. I can now communicate my jewelry designs accurately and professionally, which lets me focus more on being creative. I also took the business development course and plan to take Illustrator next. Highly recommend NYJDI for anyone serious about jewelry design. I’m excited to continue advancing my skills with Jenine. Also, she is a delight to work with!

I absolutely loved the Rapid Rendering class at NYJDI. Jenine is a wonderful instructor—she is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, and she has a way of making complex techniques feel approachable. I genuinely looked forward to class each week and always left feeling inspired and excited to keep practicing. Over the course of the class, I learned so much about jewelry rendering and developed skills that have given me much more confidence in communicating my design ideas on paper. Most importantly, the class helped me feel one step closer to my goal of designing my own jewelry. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in jewelry design, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to strengthen your rendering skills. I’m already planning to sign up for Advanced Rendering and can’t wait to continue learning with Jenine!

The NYJDI provided me with a strong foundation in jewelry design and the confidence to begin my career in the industry. The dedication, knowledge, and patience of my professor went far beyond my expectations, and I continue to apply the skills I learned there today. The studio is warm and inviting for all levels. I am deeply grateful for the experience and couldn’t recommend it more!

Jenine is an incredible teacher! I initially sought her help for a CAD design class, and she ended up completely changing my life. She ignited my passion for jewelry design and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams. Her expertise and kind heart make her more than a teacher—she's a mentor and a true friend dedicated to helping others succeed in the industry. She is a true GEM!

NYJDI provides jewelry design skills and knowledge, and further strengthens your passion. Jennie, the founder of NYJDI, has a wonderful sensibility and is dedicated to nurturing talent in the jewelry industry with love and passion. My first course was jewelry design using Procreate. It was my first time designing with Procreate, but the instructor, Prachi, generously shared the skills and knowledge she had cultivated throughout her career. As some of you may know, Procreate has a wide range of functions and is complex to operate. While mastering it greatly expands the possibilities of design, learning it can sometimes be difficult. Even though Prachi taught me so much within the limited time, there were times I was confused. I am truly grateful that Prachi always approached me with kindness and patience, and guided me to understanding. Although I couldn't operate the software at all when the 8-week course began, by the time the class ended, I had acquired solid basic skills and expressive abilities. I am very happy about that. My jewelry design journey has just begun, but with the knowledge, skills, and even greater passion I gained at NYJDI, I want to continue challenging myself. I also plan to take other courses. Thanks!

I had a wonderful experience in the Jewelry Design in Procreate course, thanks to Professor Prachi. She is a kind person, always patient, attentive and she takes the time to answer every question. I would also like to congratulate the founder, Jenine, for creating such a thoughtful and inspiring learning environment. It truly reflects care, professionalism and a genuine passion for jewelry education.

It was a great experience taking a course there. The admin is very kind and helpful. The teacher is very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend anybody who is interested in this area.

I am incredibly grateful to have found Jenine and the NYJDI! I took 2 months of private classes with Jenine, and can confidently say I will be back. Jenine is a phenomenal instructor – patient and kind, all while being extremely knowledgeable and skilled in the craft. She knows all aspects of the industry and taught me so much more than just CAD. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to give me a solid foundation of something I had zero prior experience in. Overall, it was a great experience and would without a doubt recommend. Already looking forward to taking classes again with Jenine and the NYJDI in the future.

Ive been a long time student at NYJDI and have taken multiple courses they have to offer. Both the instructors Jenine and Boris are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of jewelry. They have helped me tremendously on my journey into the jewelry business from designing to fabricating they are extremely dedicated on helping each and every student reach their full potential, on many occasions there knowledge and insight has helped me complete both personal projects and work that was required for class. I can confidently say I wouldn't know half as much without their experience and guidance. I would recomened NYJDI to anybody interested in learning about jewelry design and fabrication!
