Jewellery Design

Hi Subham,
If you have completed your graduation from a recognized university with minimum 55% marks, you are eligible to apply for the PGD course in Jewellery Design. Nowadays, jewellery designing as a career is flourishing like never before. This profession is not only rewarding but also available for anyone who has a creative bend of mind. The study in this field teaches you basic skills like stone cutting, engraving and polishing and testing the quality of precious metals and gems. Special skills like electroplating, metal colouring, anodising, enamelling and stone setting are also taught to students of jewellery designing, which you might not be aware of. These courses will impart knowledge about different types of stones, design themes, presentations, jewellery costing and jewellery making. Some of the courses use computer-aided programs for designing jewellery and accessories. On the technical front, you get to learn the art of working with precious metals, alloys and the mathematics that goes into the manufacturing of flawless jewellery items.

Hi,
If you are specifically talking about government jobs after completing Master of science in jewellery design and management, then there are very few opportunities in this field. It's more of a private job thing. But you can get a job in teaching field in government colleges of designing like NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology), NID (National Institute of Design), etc. But for that you have to complete your education first. You need to do Bachelor's as well as Master's and then PhD. If you don't want to do PhD then you should have 2 years of experience after your Master's (only the experience after your Master's will be counted). Apart from teaching line, ministry of textile and Handicrafts & Handloom Exports Council of India also offers some government jobs, but for that you need to have experience in craft sector.
One can always apply for SSC jobs.
I hope this will help you.

Hi,
The answer is a big no. It's not worth at all to pursue Master's degree in jewellery designing from distance learning in India and it is not only about India, you just can't go for a distance learning jewellery designing course. These are the reasons why I am saying no:
1. It is a practical course, so how will you manage to learn through distance when it's meant to be a regular course.
2. None of the good and reputed colleges of India offer a distance jewellery designing Master's degree.
3. Even if some colleges offer a distance programme then jewellery designing is a field where you need to practice on regular bases. So, it doesn't matter whether you are doing it from India or abroad.
4. Distance learning wouldn't help you to get a good job as a jewellery designer.
So, I will suggest you to go for a regular programme from colleges like NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology ) and Pearl Academy.

Design concerns with work in exceedingly artistic, imaginative, inventive and creative manner. Bachelor of Design (B.Des) is an undergraduate academic degree programme in the field of designing. The course mainly deals with designing a specific part of a whole structure or design of a shape, configuration etc. After the completion of this 4-year course, the candidates are provided with a lot of opportunities for securing a career. In the course curriculum, the candidates are offered with various specializations such as the design of buildings, machine parts, fashion designing, architecture, game design, jewelry & metalsmith, textile design, graphic design, and so on.
Besides the private sector firms, numerous government organizations also provide vast openings for the B.Des candidates. The government institutes such as National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Design, The Indian Textile Industry, etc. recruit talented B.Des graduates for various posts. One can also look out for a profession in any of the nationalized banks or railway or defense service. To acquire a career in these government departments, the candidates need to clear the exam organized by different governmental organizations such as SSC, PSC, UPSC, etc. One can also choose teaching field which is considered as one of the noblest professions.

The boom in the gems and jewellery industry has brought innumerable employment opportunities for jewellery designers. After the successful completion of your Master's degree, you can easily find vacancies in this industry. You can also start your own freelance designing business or set up your own retail and trading unit.
