Wow! What can I say? The Jewelry Design class was amazing. I’ve taken several jewelry classes around the country and this was by far my favorite. Eddie is an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable, personable and extremely patient. In just two short weeks I learned so many new techniques, and best of all, gained confidence in my previously weak areas. Looking forward to my next class!

I have learned everything that I needed as a bench jeweler and I have already found a job at a big jewelry store chain. This was the best class I ever took. Mr. Zargon is the best teacher in the world. The class was better than I expected and I would definitely take more classes at American School of Jewelry. I would definitely recommend the school to others.

Brooks

Very interesting, very informative. Good 1 on 1 teaching. The class was better than expected. I would absolutely take more classes at American School of Jewelry and recommend the school to others.

Jesse

I learned more than I expected. There was plenty of demonstration by video and personal assistance provided by the instructor, who is a certified Master Jeweler.                      

Caroline

This class was amazing. The techniques demonstrated were all-inclusive. Eddie was able to adapt a technique to an individual who was unable to do it a certain way. If a student was having difficulties, Eddie would demonstrate again to the individual.  Eddie is terrific! He tempers difficulty with humor. He relates to beginners and advanced alike. No one just sits in class if he manages to finish a step in a project. Instead, Eddie provides more difficult steps, so a student can work up to his level of proficiency.

Estelle

This class was beyond my wildest dreams. I learned more than I thought possible in six weeks. It gave me the desire to continue to learn the craft with a level of expertise necessary to be a competent jeweler. Thanks.

Tanice

I have learned a lot of techniques in terms of making or soldering jewelry. My level of self confidence has increased a lot. It’s worth the trip from anywhere.

John

This school was just excellent for me as a retail store owner. I will definitely send my jewelers to this school.

J M

I have been to other schools to learn how to make Jewelry. They don’t compare to this school and the teacher is the best. 

James

I learned far more than I expected in such a short time. Now I am excited about learning even more. Ed Zargon’s patience and calm demeanor provided an atmosphere that was easy to learn in.
When I took your intensive one week jewelry repair course I learned far more than I imagined I could in such a brief time. In just 35 hours I learned about various metals and how to identify and solder most of them, annealing and proper preparation of metals, piercing and drilling, cutting, how to make a ring with a tiffany setting from scratch, how to repair various difficult chains, much about various precious stones and how to set them, how to solder a letter to a plate without ruining the letter and how to make a beautiful turquoise cabochon pendant set in silver. You imparted methods that came from your vast experience and knowledge as a master jeweler so that we would learn the best techniques to speed up the learning process. You told us of pitfalls to watch out for and you have literally inspired me to strive for greatness. You were patient and you gave us quality attention so that we truly understood what you were teaching. I am forever changed by this positive experience from you and your high quality school. You are an asset to the jewelry industry as a jeweler and for you generous gifting of future jewelry students with high level of education and integrity that you provide. I look forward to future classes at your school.
Mary

I knew after the first class I took at this school that I wanted to take the ASJ Certified Jeweler Technician course. Not even in college I learned as much as I have learned here. It does not matter, if you just want to work in a jewelry store, or open your own business. If you love jewelry and want to make jewelry that is the course to take. I am able to make pieces I have always admired and could not afford to own. Not just pieces of Jewelry to wear, but also things like pillboxes and decorative pieces. The patience of the instructor and the way the pieces are presented is absolutely wonderful. You follow the program, but you are allowed to get your own ideas in. The same piece from each student looks totally different thanks to the creativity each student has and thanks to the teacher who lets you live out your creativity. I wish I had more time to go into the new program. Maybe later I can take the 1650 hour course. It would be well worth it. A special note to my teacher: Thank you for all the time you have given me and the wonderful advise. Because of you I developed the confidence and skills to make anything I want, and know it will come out the way I want it to look. Thanks again.

Friederike

Accomplished a lot, great use of time. Felt like I got a lot of personal attention when needing help. Thanks! Overall a great experience. I can't wait to take what I've learned home with me! Hope to be back in the future!

Margie

The class was very helpful. I like that we not only learn the right way to do things. I like that we also learn the wrong way to do things because it helps so when you’re in that situation you will be prepared.

Trevor

Everything was great. I am so pleased, and feel that the expertise of the instructor was priceless. I am grateful to have had a “Superstar” for an instructor.

Michael

I have gone to other Jewelry schools in the past and none compare to the quality and knowledgeable instruction that I have received.

James

Great! You are very patient and good at making me feel like no mistake is unfixable! This goes a long way towards helping me make less mistakes.

Rhonda

I feel, I learned a lot of what I needed to bring some of my “pictures” to life. Thanks for getting me several steps closer to doing what I love in a way I can be proud of!
