Doug Napier
A little about me, my name is Doug Napier and I am the “JewelryMonk. I have been making jewelry for over 30 years, I have traveled all over the country, and out of the country, focusing on making jewelry in a manufacturing setting. I am experienced in all facets of jewelry making from bench jeweler and technical modelmaking to production troubleshooting and Computer Design (CAD). Along my journey, I have learned many tips and tricks, and am more than happy to pass along anything I have learned. (I can’t take it with me). I believe I have been given a great gift when it comes to making jewelry, and I would like to be a good steward and pass it along to anyone who is hungry and wants to learn.
