Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
The Jewellery Methods program at George Brown College provides you with the skills and abilities necessary to succeed in this demanding
profession as a goldsmith/bench jeweller. The essential skills of measuring, sawing, filing, soldering and finishing are stressed early in
the program. These skills are built upon through the introduction and practice of many traditional and contemporary techniques. Once the
essentials are mastered, you study more advanced goldsmithing techniques, jewellery repair, gemsetting and model making, as well as jewellery
elective subjects.
Many courses have prerequisites; please consult your faculty advisor or review the Jewellery Methods pathway document posted on the website
at www.georgebrown.ca/jewellery.
Jewellery history, technical drawing, gemmology and an overview of the industry are included to provide you with a broad knowledge of the
jewellery field.
"The value of the knowledge I gained can only be surpassed by the quality of the relationships I developed."
