    Considering that most of the "Fine Art" programs will prepare there
    students to advance to other "Fine Art" programs and once the student
    has a PHD or MFA in "Fine Art" they are only qualified to teach "fine
    art" I would strongly suggest that any student wanting to be employed
    by the trade ether find someone to apprentice them or attend one of
    the better recognized trade schools. Noting how GIA and the Revere
    Academy have been mentioned I would like to add the Blain Lewis
    school in Atlanta and the Program in Paris, Texas I belive this is
    offered through the 2 year college there. I am sure that there are
    other good schools but these four are known to most of the Jewelry
    trade as programs which prepare there students to be able to 'do the
    basics' and are therefore employable as entry level working jewelers.
    These programs and 5 to 10 years f experience and you may know what
    you are doing when it comes to repairing something really messed up
    like Grandma's ring which had all of the stones cut out then was run
    over by a truck.
