    This self taught vs. formal training is a thread of just opinions. 

    I'm 58 and from my mid 30's (I started at the age of 10) I had
    wished my father had sent me to a really good jewelers school.
    Usually jewelers are trained through apprenticeship. A FINE school
    takes YEARS off of the learning curve. 

    If I had a son or daughter who wanted to get into jewelry, I'd send
    them to school. 

    Alan Revere is a very fine craftsman. He was trained in either
    Switzerland or Germany I believe. 

    If you have kids who want to do this, don't try training them
    yourself. Send them away (shoot, send all kids away!) :-)
