Training for
Jewelry Makers
Dedicated to training jewelry makers in the basic and advanced techniques of jewelry making.
Meet Doug Napier
I have traveled all over the world, focusing on making jewelry and teaching in a manufacturing setting. I’m experienced in all facets of jewelry making from bench jeweler and technical model-making, to production troubleshooting and Computer Design (CAD).
NOW, I bring all my experience back home to offer quality service to my community at a VERY affordable price. Also, along my journey, I have learned many tips and tricks, and am more than happy to pass along anything I have learned.

“I have learned so much and enjoyed it so much! I recommend the JewelryMonk Studio and Doug himself! He teaches practicality and brings an excellent view and example to every lesson. Thanks Doug!”
Quinton Young
“There is always something new to learn, to try, to practice. You never do the same thing. It’s engaging and requires all your thoughts and efforts so you can block out the rest of the world.”
Sharlyn Premuda
“I can’t even tell you how many DVD’s and books I’ve bought in my quest to learn jewelry making, but none of them have been the catalyst to get me going. Your comprehensive training videos are what I’ve been needing!”
