San Francisco—The Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco is offering a one-day course designed to help retail jewelers answer consumer questions about what it means to be green.

According to a release from Revere, the five-hour session, scheduled for Aug. 23 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., will include information on the source of metals and gemstones, green suppliers and how to help promote healthy mining practices.

The class also will cover gold testing, ingot making, safe and eco-friendly studio practices, and future green business certification.

Revere faculty member Christine Dhein will co-teach the course with Jennifer Horning, co-founder of Ethical Metalsmiths, a nonprofit that works to increase awareness about ethically sourced materials.

The cost of the class is $100, with $50 of the fee going to Ethical Metalsmiths.

Interested parties can register online at Revereacademy.com.

The Revere Academy is a professional jewelry school that offers diplomas and certificates as authorized by the State of California. The school is located in downtown San Francisco's Phelan Building.

Schedules, information and a video tour are available on the school's Web site.
