It is no wonder that a healthy understanding of sales, and the selling process, is essential for nearly every career along the gem and jewelry pipeline.

The Applied Jewelry Professional™, an on-campus professional development diploma program, covers topics including jewelry designs, setting styles, jewelry care and other content that will support your product knowledge and provide excellent service to customers.
