Reviews
"I've taken private lessons from 7 different courses with jenine, and I highly recomend them. She makes every lesson a perfect fit for the student, and you learn much more than you could expect. In some of the courses she has taken me to different brands to know more about jewelry from a different perspective and in a different but very effective way. I've loved all of the courses she has taught me and I can assure you that if you take her courses you will learn things that no one else is going to teach you. Thank you so much Jenine, being your student has been a wonderful experience."
"as a someone aspiring to get into the jewelry business Jenine is a great instructor for people at any level of knowledge or skill, she provides a very stress free and supportive environment which enables learning and the confidence to fully realize your skill/potential. I strongly recommend anyone who is interested in learning more about jewelry to look into what nyjdi has to offer!"
"Learning from Jenine at NYJDI was the best choice I made. I wanted to learn how to bring my designs from my mind to paper and I learnt so much more than I initially expected. I couldn’t believe I could render such beautiful designs within the second class! Jenine teaches the most incredible techniques, whilst having her teaching style be holistic. She maintains the importance of aligning yourself to come from a place of creativity, which is so important in today’s world. Whether privately or in a group, she always went at the right pace and had the patience to go at our speed. Doing the courses here and learning from Jenine were the perfect combination of learning great skills, combined with having a kind and encouraging teacher, which is the best environment for a student to thrive in. I’m truly grateful!"
"NYJDI offers a great education for Jewelry designers. They have multiple courses that approach different types of jewelry design. I have been taking CAD and wax carving classes there for almost a year. If you're looking to build a solid foundation in jewelry design, it is the right place. Jenine is an exceptional CAD instructor, perfect for anyone starting in the field. Her clear teaching style makes concepts easy to understand. Beyond CAD techniques, Jenine offers valuable insights into the broader world of jewelry manufacturing."
"I love her!!! Jenine is the best instructor, she is very experienced. Really knows the in’s and out’s of the industry. I enjoyed taking both the Rapid and Advanced Rendering classes. Hands down the best drawing classes for designers in the city."
