    I too believe the GIA is a great school but their focus is truly
    gemology and that is where you should go if you want a gemological
    background. If you want to be on the West Coast Alan Revere's Academy
    is the place to be. If you want a full, formal education on the East
    Coast, however, you should go to the North Bennet Street School in
    Boston. It has one of the best bench jeweler programs in the country.
    All of my bench employees have come out of their program and are
    always incredibly well trained and skilled in all aspects of metal
    work. If you don't want the full shebang than Metalwerx in
    Massachusetts offers more abbreviated types of classes.
