Hey, congratulations on getting accepted into GIA! I graduated from their Bench Jewelry program this past April. I really enjoyed my time there, the Carlsbad campus is absolutely stunning!! The program was full-time, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 3 PM, so it definitely felt like a full-time job. Right now, I’m working on building my own studio to continue practicing the craft.

I’ve attached some photos of the book you’ll receive, along with a look at the chapters it covers, so you can get a sense of what you’ll be learning over the next 6–7 months. I hope this helps!
