From Carly Wickell, your Guide to Jewelry
Let's take a break on celebrity jewelry and focus on some of the jewelry careers you can opt to pursue.

Learn the Craft of Watchmaking
People who make and repair watches are called horologists, and even though most of today's fashion watches are less expensive to replace than to repair, there are still plenty of high-end watches and clocks to keep a talented watchmaker busy. Explore schools of watchmaking and preview some of the job opportunities available to trained craftspeople.

Become a Jewelry Designer
Designers who work on their own have an unlimited number of techniques to draw from. Beading is one, and you can do it with beads you purchase or with your own handcrafted beads. Work with precious metals. Craft your jewelry with gemstones or recycle items to develop a unique look. Use a kiln to work with pottery or glass components. The options are endless.

Gemologist Career FAQ
Do you love gemstones? Can you see yourself working to appraise them and grade them for prospective buyers? Those are two services that a gemologist can provide. Education is available at specific locations around the world and by distance learning.
