Revere to hold second 'green jewelry' class

January 23, 2009

San Francisco--Due to the popularity of its first "Green Jewelry" class, held last August, the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts has scheduled another session for March 7.

The academy developed the one-day class to meet the changing needs of the jewelry industry, as consumers today are demanding more ethically sourced materials.

Participants will learn where metals and gemstones come from, about "green" suppliers and what they can do to promote healthy mining practices. They will also learn how to respond to customers' questions about the sourcing and sustainability of materials.

In addition, the class will cover gold testing, ingot making, safe and eco-friendly studio practices, future green-business certification and more.

Gary Rowe, a jewelry businessman from Arkansas who took the Green Jewelry class last August, said: "Everyone in our industry needs to make sure our processes and procedures are ethical and safe. I had actively sought scientific information, specific to the jewelry industry without success. The class at Revere provided me with what I needed, plus numerous resources in a succinct, one-day format."

The Green Jewelry class, which will be held from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., costs $129, with $50 of the fee going to Ethical Metalsmiths (EthicalMetalsmiths.org). To register, visit Revere Academy's Web site, RevereAcademy.com.
