Family Roots, Lasting Craft
Formerly Stewart's International School for Jewelry, Now Stewart's Jewelers Workshop, Inc in Jupiter, Florida, is a family-founded jewelry training school established in 1975.
James Stewart learned Jewelry Repair and Diamond Setting in his Father's full-service jewelry store while in high school.
Hands-On Mentoring For Adults
Class sizes stay small so every student works directly beside James and Elly. You practice soldering, setting, repair, design, and wax work with your own hands while we guide each move. This focused mentoring helps adults progress quickly, avoid bad habits, and leave ready for real shop responsibilities.
Traditional Skills In A Digital Age
Our workshop teaches pure hand craftsmanship, without computers. You learn to control flame, metal, and wax using traditional tools, exactly as professional jewelers have done for generations. These skills build confidence at the bench and form a strong foundation for any future technology you may choose to add.
