    I've just replied to this thread but forgot to mention something
    else. 

    As well as the people who teach jewellery design/making being biased
    when it comes to thinking it essential that people take such
    classes, many of these teachers have a very unique style of jewellery
    and as such are more likely to teach people how to make things
    similar to their own design aesthetic. 

    If taking classes in the making of jewellery, then more generic
    classes that teach real world methods of the good old fashioned
    techniques, such that you might find in Mr Brepohl's Theory and
    Practice of Goldsmithing, or Mr Revere's books, etc are the things
    that perhaps should be taught. The design side of things should
    probably come from each person's own ideas of what they find
    aesthetically pleasing. For those who can't afford classes (like
    myself), then there are numerous examples of very good books from
    which you can learn to make jewellery.
