Gold jewelry course

Gold is the standard everything else is measured against. The warmth, the permanence, the way a well-made gold piece becomes something passed down rather than thrown away, this online gold jewelry course teaches you how to work with real gold confidently, so every piece you create carries genuine lasting value.

Gold intimidates most beginners. This course removes that barrier entirely.

The assumption is that working with gold requires a professional workshop, expensive tools, and years of training before you touch the material. That assumption stops most people before they even start.

This course is built to dismantle it. You'll learn how gold actually behaves as a material, how to shape it, join it, and finish it, using techniques that are accessible from day one, without compromising on the quality of what you create.

What you'll learn

• Gold alloys and karats explained — understand the practical difference between 9k, 14k, and 18k gold, and how each behaves differently when you work with it
• Basic forming and shaping — cut, bend, and shape gold sheet and wire into precise forms using accessible tools
• Soldering fundamentals — join pieces cleanly and securely, the foundational skill behind virtually every gold jewelry design
• Texturing and surface finishing — create hammered, brushed, and polished finishes that define the character of each piece
• Stone setting in gold — combine your metalwork skills with gemstone setting for pieces that feel genuinely high-end
• Rings, pendants, and earrings — apply your skills across the core jewelry formats and build a complete, wearable range

Who this course is for

Prior jewelry making experience is helpful but not required. If you've worked with silver, copper, or base metals and want to take the step into gold, or if you're starting fresh and want to learn the craft at its highest material standard, this course is built for both paths.

It's designed for makers who want to create pieces of real value, whether for personal wear, as meaningful gifts, or to sell at a price point that reflects genuine craft and material quality. Gold jewelry made by hand carries a story no mass-produced piece ever will.

Course format

Fully self-paced video course, accessible on any device. One enrollment gives you lifetime access to all lessons and future updates.

Each module focuses on a single core skill, structured to build naturally on the one before it, so your technique develops in a logical, confidence-building sequence. You'll move from material knowledge and basic forming through to complete finished pieces as your skills take shape.

No professional workshop required to get started. The course includes a practical tools and materials list covering every technique shown, with guidance on how to set up a functional home workspace at every budget level.
