TESTIMONIALS
Kyra Brook2025-03-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel SO incredibly lucky to have found Jenine and NYJDI. I’ve been taking privates with Jenine for the past 3 months, and our classes are always my favorite part of my week. She has a methodological approach to teaching design that made it easy to grasp and progress quickly, and she’s empowered me to tap into creativity I didn’t know I had. After 12 weeks I’m already creating my first piece! She not only has wealth of knowledge about design and the jewelry industry, but she is also the warmest, kindest, most thoughtful teacher and mentor, and cares so deeply about her students’ successes. I am endlessly grateful for Jenine and can’t wait to continue learning from her. Jayne Moore2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been in the industry for 17 years, but had never learned how to technically draw, and it was always something I wish I could do, so one day I googled and signed up to one of the NYJDI classes and WOW I AM SO GLAD I DID! I don't know how I ever got by before! Jenine was my teacher for both the beginner and advanced courses I took, and she was warm, kind, patient, witty, just fun to be around, and my ability to sketch and communicate ideas went from 0-100 in a matter of weeks! I have now sold multiple pieces of jewelry from sketches alone, it just speeds up the whole process, and clients are always so amazed and in love with their sketches. It adds a level of professionalism and honestly, it was my favorite 2 hours of every week. I will be looking for more! ella2025-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. i had an amazing experience learning lost wax carving with Michele. The owner Jenine was extremely helpful in answering all questions i had. if you are looking for a place to learn about jewelry and be surrounded by passionate kind people i would highly recommend this business!! Maria Benyounes2024-12-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took a jewelry design course on Adobe Illustrator at the New York Jewelry Design Institute, and I had a great experience. The instructor was very kind and patient, even though I don’t speak English very well. She took the time to explain everything clearly, which made learning much easier. I highly recommend this institute! Maria. Thank you so much ! Richard Miner2024-11-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great classes! I highly recommend. Planning to enroll again in the spring. Faith Brown2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I came here to make our wedding bands and had an amazing time! It was just us and the instructor, no other couples so it was a very personal experience. Boris was very knowledgeable and made sure we actually did a lot of the steps of crafting but still came out with a result that looks professional. Jenine also surprised us with champagne and took lots of photos which made the experience even better. It was a blast and now we have rings that will always hold extra special value to us. Izaro Perez Galdeano2024-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've taken private lessons from 7 different courses with jenine, and I highly recomend them. She makes every lesson a perfect fit for the student, and you learn much more than you could expect. In some of the courses she has taken me to different brands to know more about jewelry from a different perspective and in a different but very effective way. I've loved all of the courses she has taught me and I can assure you that if you take her courses you will learn things that no one else is going to teach you. Thank you so much Jenine, being your student has been a wonderful experience. Nick Ogozalek2024-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. as a someone aspiring to get into the jewelry business Jenine is a great instructor for people at any level of knowledge or skill, she provides a very stress free and supportive environment which enables learning and the confidence to fully realize your skill/potential. I strongly recommend anyone who is interested in learning more about jewelry to look into what nyjdi has to offer!
