In a world that's continually changing, it’s increasingly important to stay up-to-date. Today, the role of a jewelry designer has become increasingly valuable and sought after. It is precisely for this reason that the Burgo Institute has developed the Jewelry Design course, enabling us to train specialists in response to the significant demand from the fashion world. This course provides our students with the tools to learn fundamental techniques for representing a jewel, including ecoline, Pantone, pencils, pastels, tempera, and technical representation using orthogonal projections. The acquisition of these techniques is possible after an anatomical study of the hands and face. They will also dive into an in-depth study of costume jewelry, the symbolism of jewels, and more commercial and technical knowledge of the quality of precious and semi-precious stones and metals.
