I have a passion for making jewelry and educating others
– Doug Napier
A little about me, my name is Doug Napier and I started the website, JewelryMonk.com a few years back as a way of paying forward the vast jewelry knowledge I have accumulated over 38 years in the jewelry business. Today, Jewelry Monk has evolved into Jewlery by Decory Studio.
Over those years, I have traveled all over the world, focusing on making jewelry in a manufacturing setting, and I am experienced in all facets of jewelry making from bench jeweler and technical model-making, to production troubleshooting and Computer Design (CAD).
Along my journey, I have learned many tips and tricks, and am more than happy to pass along anything I have learned. (I can’t take it with me). I believe I have been given a great gift when it comes to making jewelry, and I would like to be a good steward and pass it along to anyone who is hungry and wants to learn.
