A piece of jewellery is more than an object. It is an idea, a code, a form that tells the story of the time we live in.
Jewellery & Eyewear Design: Craft, Innovation & Technology is a specialisation course that brings together jewellery culture, fashion design, Italian craftsmanship and new technologies, taking you into the world of contemporary design.
Start with the codes of fine jewellery and luxury design: aesthetics, materials, gemstones, proportions, symbols, techniques and history. Then take them somewhere new. Learn how to turn research into a concept, a sketch into a form, an idea into a project. From the first intuition to 3D modelling, from prototyping to building a product’s visual universe, you will explore every stage of the creative process.
Here, technology does not replace your vision: it expands it.
AI, generative design, 3D modelling, photorealistic rendering and generative video become part of the design process as tools for research, experimentation and development. You will learn how to use them to explore possibilities, build new visual worlds and give shape to ideas you could not yet see.
The course explores jewellery and accessories design through the transformations of the luxury system: new languages, new materials, new technologies, and new ways of designing and communicating a product.
And it does so while maintaining a strong connection with the culture of Italian craftsmanship, through direct engagement with companies, professionals and industry realities.
Four modules. One journey: learning to design what comes next.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
The aim is to develop a designer who can move between design culture, aesthetic research, technology and craftsmanship, interpreting the transformations of the luxury system while preserving the value of Italian artisanal culture.
For anyone who wants to turn a passion for jewellery and accessories into a contemporary design skillset.
The course is designed for students, recent graduates, professionals, goldsmiths and creatives who want to deepen their knowledge of jewellery and accessories design and develop new analogue, digital and technological tools.
It does not matter where you start. What matters is where you want to take your vision.

The course is designed for students, recent graduates, professionals, goldsmiths and creatives who want to develop skills in jewellery, fashion jewellery and eyewear design and integrate new digital and technological tools into their design process.
The course starts with the foundations of jewellery design and progressively introduces more advanced tools and languages. The first module provides the foundation for the entire journey.
Yes. The first two modules form the compulsory Core. Once you have completed them, you can choose whether to continue with both of the following modules or specialise in one of the two areas.
Each module consists of 60 hours.
No. In this course, AI is introduced as a design tool. It can support research, sketching, the development of visual worlds and experimentation, while the creative direction remains in the hands of the designer.
The course introduces tools related to AI, generative design, 3D modelling, photorealistic rendering, generative video and prototyping, integrating them with traditional design techniques.
Throughout the course, you will develop portfolios, concepts, jewellery pieces, fashion jewellery and fashion eyewear capsule collections, progressing towards complete projects that include renderings, styling shoots, video content and prototypes.
Yes. The course includes opportunities to engage with companies, professionals and industry realities through briefs and activities that reflect professional practice.
