He terminado muy contento, o mejor dicho: feliz! Pues desde hace aproximadamente 12 años que tenia ganas de estudiar en esta escuela.
Aparte de todo tenemos un gran profesor, estupendo. En el tiempo que llevo aqui veo entrar mucha gente que no tiene ni idea de nada al matricularse y terminan graduandose bien preparados. En esta rama, que para mi es una de las mejores profesiones, he aprendido mucho y me da mucha satisfaccion. Siento esto porque no es nada facil tener un pedazo de metal y transformarlo en algo lindo. To do esto, reitero, gracias a las enseñanzas de Marc.
Me voy muy agradecido de haber pertenecido a esta escuela.

When I was deciding to have a new hobby, I chose Miami Jewelry School because of the classes’ flexible days and hours. They are well prepared by a very experienced teacher. It is a nice and relaxed environment to be a part of. That makes my 1 hour drive all worth it!!
By finishing the basic course, now it became easier to create my own designs and after graduating I’m still coming to the school to learn a lot more from Marc.

At the Miami Jewelry School you receive individualized instruction from a Master jeweler that guides you along the path to creative self discovery. Master Marc Thurn is an artist, and a caring and patient teacher, who unselfishly shares his skills and knowledge. Marc allowed me freedom of creative expression while using varied metals and precious stones incorporating new techniques and respecting the old traditions. Even on the face of personal disappointment with a piece, Marc found a way to turn things around with some “old world” technique that not only saved the piece, but also, taught me some new way to deal with a situation while maintaining the integrity of the work. The Miami Jewelry School has fulfilled a lifelong dream of learning to make jewelry at a professional level, and I look forward to creating many heirloom pieces in the years to come.

The decision to come to MJS was one of the best I’ve ever made. Marc is a real master and he gave me the tools I needed to start a new road, that I’m sure will bring me a lot of satisfaction. He gave me the ability to express into jewelry my deepest creative dreams. There is still a lot to be learned and that is why I will complete all the courses the school offers. This is a complex job and this is why it is so fascinating, interesting and challenging.

Master Jeweler Marc Thurn is a man of many talents; one of which happens to be teaching the art of goldsmithing. I feel honored to be able to study and learn from him. Marc is extremely patient and he is willing to help you with any project or questions you have. His teaching style allows creativity while still keeping the structure you need to learn the art of a true goldsmith. Miami Jewelry School opens a wonderful opportunity to follow your dreams of fine jewelry making. It is a true privilege to be here and I enjoy myself every time I come. For a small price, you gain a lifetime of knowledge that will aid you in becoming a successful jeweler/designer.

Recomiendo 100% Miami Jewelry School a cualquier persona buscando una formación en joyería. Las instalaciones son super agradables y el equipo que tienen es muy completo. Marc, el profesor, es una persona muy agradable y paciente. Aparte de ser muy bueno explicando, su profesionalidad en joyería y las técnicas que enseña son las más avanzadas. Yo tomé el curso de Casting y seguramente en poco tiempo tomaré también Stone Setting. La escuela es muy seria y a la vez lo suficientemente flexible, se adapta a las necesidades de cada estudiante. Gracias Marc y Adriana!!

I am currently in the Stone Setting Course and have been at the Miami Jewelry School since August of 2009. My experience at MJS has been incredible. Anyone who has the chance to study under Marc Thurn is extremely lucky. He is an amazing teacher and incredibly knowledgeable in his field. The courses are extremely informative and challenging, and I highly encourage anyone with interest in the field to study with Marc. Since starting at Miami Jewelry School, I have started my own jewelry company. My knowledge, skill set, and craft has surpassed all my expectations. I currently sell my work and continue to build upon the incredible foundation Miami Jewelry School has provided me. I look forward to where my education leads me in the future.

To begin with, my experience with MJS has been very good. They have made me successful in the career that I have chosen. The teacher is excellent. I especially appreciate the way he explains things with patience and simplicity. Because of this, I always feel confident when I have finished a piece, and also feel accomplished with my work.
I am grateful with this school, because when I graduate, I can follow the path I always wanted to take along with the knowledge I’ve gained from this school. I will definitely recommend MJS to others! Thank you for all the help you have given me.

I'm Karen Stockhausen Ruah, I've been in the school for nine months and I look forward to becoming a great goldsmith. For me, finding this school and starting my jewelry work again (after having my 3 kids), is my pleasant time of the week where I can express, create and hand make things that recharge and light up my spirit and soul. But underneath it all there is a nice, knowledgeable teacher, who has handy tips and tricks up his sleeve, who brings people to the jewelry world in an easy and precise way that makes you fall in love with this art.

My name is Samanthéssa R. Jacob; I am a student at Miami Jewelry School. It has almost been a year since I began training in the basic course. Since then, I have only encountered a great learning environment, friendly and supportive classmates, and most importantly, the nicest, well-knowledgeable and experienced staff, who takes pride in making sure, as well as help you accomplish your goals.
Upon finishing my first course, my plans are to jump start a family business in casting custom jewelry. As well as, kick off my own line in handcrafted watches, along with other pieces of fine jewelry under the name of “The R.J. Collection”. When everything has been set up there is no doubt in my mind that I would come back for more classes as well as recommend; if not send future employees to get trained by the Miami Jewelry School.

I enrolled at Miami Jewelry School in December of 2008. I came in with extremely limited jewelry fabrication skills and I have now attained the ability to design and create any piece of jewelry I want.· Marc's experience, coupled with his patience and dedication to teaching, make him an ideal instructor. In addition, Marc has provided valuable counseling on starting a business in the jewelry field. Whether you are interested in designing, manufacturing or owning a store or business, nothing is more important than having the skills and knowledge necessary to grow and be successful.

When I first got to America over a year ago I didn’t want to give up making jewelry, so I found MJS and I am sooooo happy I joined.
Marc and Adriana are really great people and the school is really personal. Where I’m from you can’t find one place that can teach you everything, there are different people who work in different fields of jewelry making but here at MJS you can learn the basic jewelry making course, stone setting course, wax modeling course and much more all at one place. The schedule is very flexible and Marc is an absolutely amazing and talented teacher!
