How to become a jewelry apprentice?

The qualifications that you need to start working as a jeweler apprentice include a high school diploma or vocational training. Some employers prefer postsecondary training in soldering, stone polishing, casting, necklace clasp repair, and similar skills. Some community and technical colleges offer an associate degree in jewelry design. Others accept apprentices who display an interest in learning the trade of jewelry repair or jewelry making. Jewelers who offer an apprenticeship sometimes expect you to know about the jewelry industry from working in jewelry sales.
