Program overview
This major essentially teaches you how to design and create beautiful jewelry from scratch. You'll learn core skills like jewelry hand-drawing, 3D computer modeling, metalworking, gem setting, and enamel techniques. Courses include "Fundamentals of Jewelry Design," "Introduction to Gemology," "Jewelry Making Techniques," "Jewelry CAD Design," and "Brand Planning." It's perfect for students who love hands-on work, have an eye for aesthetics, and pay attention to detail—if you often think about how to accessorize or are fascinated by gem colors and cuts, this major will suit you well. A unique feature of Chinese universities in this field is that many have dedicated jewelry colleges, such as China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, which collaborate closely with domestic jewelry companies to provide real project opportunities. Additionally, China is a major jewelry processing country, with a complete industrial chain in cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, allowing you to access the latest techniques and materials in the industry while still in school.
