JIA- Jewelry Institute of America

"Well worth the money! A well structured class experience, with comfortable and ergonomic jewelry classes easily within walking distance from the suggested hotel accommodations and a short drive to almost anything from there. The instructor, Gabe, provides clear instruction on all equipment and techniques, in a comfortable and positive environment, with plenty of opportunity for questions and focused discussion without being overwhelming. There was plenty of hands on training, on tools and techniques, without being limited in scope or a "brand" sales pitch. Taking this class has brought me back to my studio with a renewed vigor, a better appreciation for where I am at, and plenty of new skills to work into my career moving forward. Ten out of ten, would recommend for anyone who needs that next bump in the jewelry arts!"

"Gabriel is a very excellent teacher, very nice and approachable, and contains vast resource of knowledge. I was very lucky to have my company bring him out and allow me to take part in a week long class of his. By the end of the week i learned 3 different ways to pave, as well as castle setting and the many different ways to bright cut differently to create different looks, great opportunity and a great class"

"My experience with Gabriel exceeded all my expectations. His great capacity as a teacher, his incredible technical skill and human quality made my experience in Houston wonderful. I came home with a professional competence, a new friend, and a place where I can always come back for more."

"Our jewelry company would like to thank the owner of the school Master Gabriel, for his professional approach to teaching the jewelry skills, of our employee in stone setting and engraving. In one month of training, he is ready to perform the complex work of setting, diamonds and precious stones, under a microscope, and engraving on gold and other metals. The school is equipped with the latest technology, in a clean and bright environment in a beautiful area of ​​Houston, Texas. Thank you Master Gabriel and see you next time at your wonderful school!"

"I took 2 weeks of intensive micro pavé classes and I learned so much! I had prior jewelry experience but hadn’t worked under the scope before. In two short weeks I learned and advanced my skills more than I would have anywhere else. The class was really adaptable to my needs as a jeweler. I’m excited to take more classes in the future!"
