    I would recommend New Approach School for Jewelers in Virginia
    Beach, VA. If you want "hands on" training, take his (Blaine Lewis)
    Bench Jeweler Comprehensive. It's a 5-day course for around $1000...
    which is a bargain for the amount of training you'll receive. I've
    taken his 12 week Graduate Bench Jeweler Program and already I'm
    years (if not a decade) ahead of where I "should be" - I'm not
    kidding either... Not in speed, mind you, but in quality and
    craftsmanship. Efficiency comes with time... I want to do things
    "right" the first time and Blaine teaches his students just that. 

    Just visit the website for more information. 

    As for "theory" and getting to know your tools, etc. I would suggest
    buying "The Theory and Practice of Goldsmithing" by Brepohl. If you
    can't leave your area for some reason, buy some of Alan Revere's
    videos. They are fabulous... Not hands-on, obviously. But if you
    can't make a trip to San Francisco (Being as you reside in North
    Carolina)... they're a great substitute 

Regards,
Drew
