NASJ has earned its "boot-camp for jewelers" reputation by introducing revolutionary methods to both new and experienced jewelers through a modern conduit of learning. As the industry leader, New Approach employs the most advanced technology, supplying a fresh and open-minded alternative to traditional jewelry education. Live demonstrations are magnified on large HD video screens for students to see their instructor's work with absolute precision. This visually intensive teaching method enhances our instructor's ability to communicate even the most intricate details. Director and lead instructor, Blaine Lewis, is widely recognized as the premier diamond setter and platinumsmithing instructor in the US today. Blaine has used his 20+ years of experience as a bench jeweler and the training of over 5000 students as an open forum. This has led to the continuing evolution of innovative stone setting and metalsmithing techniques. Experts in the jewelry industry agree that Blaine's methods are efficient, comprehensive, and groundbreaking.
