Program overview

A two year diploma in jewellery making, covering silversmithing, casting and fabrication, stone setting, computer aided design, materials and a final portfolio collection.

College Diploma - Jewellery Art and Design is taught at Vancouver Community College, a public college and a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19279717512.

A British Columbia provincial attestation letter is also required alongside the College Diploma - Jewellery Art and Design study permit application.
