Diploma in Silver Jewellery ToolKit

 
Diploma in Silver Jewellery Jewellers Academy
 

Thank you for your interest in the Diploma in Silver Jewellery 1-year course. We’re so excited for you to join us!

One of the benefits of working on this from home is that you are using your own tools which you will continue to use for years to come.

You can find a list of the tools and materials you need on the button below.

You do not have to purchase the tools and materials yourself. At the moment, we have both toolkits and materials kits available although don’t wait to secure yours as we usually sell out before we close enrolment. I strongly recommend you purchase the materials kit as you can spread the cost of the kit (including gold) and you can easily get to work without having to order your own.

Tools and material kits paid for via a payment plan will be sent to you in advance of the course start in September 2025 and we will notify you that they are on the way.

Some Ts and Cs

We regret that due to shipping regulations, we are unable to ship the tools & materials kits to Andorra, Argentina, Greece, Turkey, India, Portugal, Israel, Anguilla or the Falkland Islands.

Kits sent to France are subject to an approximate additional customs charge of 600 Euros.

Please email warehouse@jewellersacademy.com for further enquiries on shipping and using a broker.

Due to shipping regulations, we are unable to ship beeswax to the Netherlands. Students from the Netherlands can still purchase the tool and materials kit but the beeswax will need to be left out to comply.

Electrical tools in the toolkit are supplied with a UK plug. If you are in Europe, Australia or New Zealand you will need a UK plug adaptor.

Students purchasing the tool kits in the USA, Canada and Columbia (and all countries using a USA voltage plug) will need to source their own Dremel and Dremel Multi Chuck Key.

There is a one-year guarantee on all the torches supplied in the Silver Jewellery Diploma kits.

If there is a fault with your torch, you will need to send the torch back to the Jewellers Academy warehouse by post. The supplier will then send the torch back to the factory for testing. After the feedback has been submitted, the factory will decide if the torch is to be replaced if there is a manufacturing default. Jewellers Academy will not be able to supply another torch whilst the current torch is being assessed by the factory.

The materials kit includes what you need for the assessment on this Diploma course except for your final project. For your final project, you are asked to make one piece of jewellery to your own design and you will need to source your own materials for this

If you are outside of the UK, please look our for our emails. You may receive an email from FedEx which you need to respond to for Customs purposes. You have a limited time to respond before your kit is shipped back to the UK and this could lead to a delay in you receiving your parcel.
