•  "I have been attending Miami Jewelry school for the past four months. Marc is a wonderful teacher; he is patient, understanding and very dedicated to the professional jewelry trade. His old school training profession has helped me to achieve the experience I can use to become a great jeweler.

MJS has enhanced my profession so much, that now I feel I can give my full potential to the jewelry trade. I will enter design competitions next year, that's how much I've learned. Thanks Marc and Adriana, you guys are so sweet. I will be back for another course."

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."
