“Educate – Encourage – Equip”
Jewelry Making
Our Philosophy
Most jewelry sold in the United States is mass produced in large overseas factories with no real connection to their customers or the communities. At The DeCory Jewelry Institute, we focus on teaching the skills of jewelry design and creation, as well as branding, marketing, and sales, to artists who have a passion for the wearable arts industry. We want our students to follow their dreams of jewelry making and have a marketable skill they can take with them for the rest of their life, as well as being proud of the jewelry they make.
About Us
Many young artists find themselves wanting to “make a difference” in their world or community, or just a way of expressing themselves through their art, but do not know where to start. They find themselves without a viable career option and have no direction, no hope, and suffer from a lack of purpose. We also know the 4-year schools and universities burden many young people with a lifetime of debt, and many times don’t fulfill or equip them for their future. We are a Regional Jewelry Training Facility that gives people a career option and life skills through jewelry making, without the stressful debt. We believe life was meant to be shared enjoyed, and with the proper direction, we can show others how to express themselves through their art and learn a trade they can refine through their life.
