    Design cannot be taught. What good school can do is to show how to
    use what you already have. And I do have to congratulate you on your
    observations about your work. The first step in learning is to
    recognize when things do not look good. 

    If you can recognize that, it mean you probably have a sense of
    taste and proportion. Next step is to develop it. Do not waste your
    time on schools !!! Spend your money on going to museums, art
    galleries, and similar venues. Look and try to understand the logic
    behind choice of color, composition, and etc. 

    Do listen to experts, but develop your own opinion; and if what you
    see is different from experts and you can justify it to yourself, go
    with your own intuition. With time, you will be able to recall and
    use what you learnt in your work. 

    It is only when you develop your artistic intuition, a school can
    help you to understand it formally, but in this case enrolling in
    general art course in your local college, would be more productive
    than going to specialized jewellery school.
