Methodology and Structure
The approach is experiential: the Master's Program in Jewelry Design provides the fundamental skills to attend specific workshops and labs and manage effective projects, both case studies and real companies’ briefs.
The Master's Program is conceived to offer particularly wide training in the jewellery field. The path begins with a methodological course for the development of creativity in Jewelry Design. The specific drawing techniques are deepened and the jewellery techniques are tested in a real goldsmith’s workshop.
The theoretical part of the course, which is necessary to ensure that all students have the same basic knowledge, is then followed by thematic design courses, where theory and practice are constantly combined.
The High Jewelry course and the Gemology courses guarantee the in-depth study of the most important themes of Fine Jewelry. The Master Course broadens the individual training with the Watch Design Workshop, Jewelry and Series Production, and 3D Advanced course, investigating the subject of product reproducibility, both in jewellery and in the related fields of the luxury industry.
The educational training is completed by the Communication and Branding, Visual Communication, and Packaging courses: these courses allow participants to deal with the whole design process, from the identity of the brand up to the presentation on the market and sales.
The seniority and experience of the lecturers, who are all professionals, ensure an educational path through which students can delve deep into the different disciplines and working methods used in jewellery making.
The Master course ends with an individual Final Project. The project is an opportunity to express all the creativity and techniques acquired, a concrete tool for a professional presentation, and also an effective starting point for individual entrepreneurial initiatives.
IED strives to build a supportive environment and collaborative relationship with partners. That’s why IED delivers the necessary tools to support prospects students in exploring opportunities, making informed decisions, and designing their future.
Thanks to the innovative methodology and the professional success of IED students, the Ministries of Education and Research of the countries where IED operates directly – Italy, Spain and Brazil – have officially accredited the majority of IED Undergraduate and Master courses.
