REVIEWS
I have taken two classes thus far with the hopes of taking more here in the future. After two weeks my knowledge and skill set has grown exponentially! I had only taken a one day class elsewhere prior and had very little experience. Whether you are starting a career or enhancing your craft, this is place for you! Stephen is a great instructor! And I highly recommend taking classes here.

I just completed 6 weeks at Midwest Jewelry Academy. Absolute stellar experience. I started with the Intro To Jewelry Repair Course followd by Advanced Diamond and Gemstone Setting finishing with the 4 Week Bench Jeweler Course. 100% professional classroom setting, instructor, and course work. The step by step guidance Mr. Shannon provides is truly helpful. Especially with more technical projects. He throughly explains every aspect of jewelry repair including touching on design and production. I enjoyed the quiet, patient, steady pace Steven teaches in (there’s no emergency in Jewelry, lol). He definitely makes you feel comfortable to ask questions or for another demonstration. I feel the projects challenged me to focus on the instruction given to produce “showcase” ready pieces. With nearly 18 years in the Jewelry Industry myself, finally sitting behind the bench at Midwest Jewelry Academy has given me the confidence to fully step into my role as a Jeweler.
