Our Story
Jaqc Jewellery Academy was founded in 2018 by Jasmin Karger and offers different jewellery classes, from illustration to CAD/CAM and manufacturing.
About Jasmin
As a traditional goldsmith with over 20 years of experience, Jasmin’s passion for jewellery design never faded.
In Jasmin´s words:
As a child I always wanted to become a true renaissance man or, in my case, woman. I dreamed of being a painter, sculptor and innovator living a life solving the mysteries of the world like Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo.
So I became a goldsmith, learning the ancient art of working with precious metals and intriguing gemstones.
Ultimately, I discovered my passion for teaching.
Through my association with one of the most prestigious jewellery schools in the world (GIA) I have inspired
hundreds of students in such far-flung locations as Thailand, Italy and California.
With my many classes, I have combined the intricacies of jewellery design with the elements of technology, using
the latest CAD/CAM developments, whilst sharing both my joy and undiminished affection for an industry that I have been involved with for all my working life.

So I became a goldsmith, learning the ancient art of working with precious metals and intriguing gemstones.
During my years in the jewellery business I had the wonderful opportunity to work with renowned jewellery artists, like Wendy Ramshaw, Jacqueline Mina and others to design high-end collections and to make jewellery in every metal I could possibly lay my hands on (palladium and niobium are still amongst my favourites).
Ultimately, I discovered my passion for teaching.
Through my association with one of the most prestigious jewellery schools in the world (GIA) I have inspired
hundreds of students in such far-flung locations as Thailand, Italy and California.

Today, I still do what I love. I run my own jewellery business, Jaqc Jewellery and Jaqc Jewellery Academy, offer design consultancy, and illustrate jewellery for a variety of companies.
Now I want to help you realise your creative ambitions, by sharing my skills and show you how to design, manufacture and illustrate amazing jewellery.
