Jewelry Academy

The Lutin Creations Academy was built on a simple premise: the technical chain required to produce world-class jewelry — CAD, CNC, diamond cutting, invisible setting — had largely disappeared from Israel. We are rebuilding it.

A craft the market allowed to disappear.

After the industry crisis of 1998, Israeli jewelry manufacturing effectively stopped evolving. Investment in precision technology, digital design, and skilled training collapsed — and with it, the country's position in the international high-jewelry market. Orders from Swiss watch houses, from Graff, Chopard, and de Grisogono moved elsewhere.

The gap that opened was not a matter of taste. It was a matter of competence. The full technical chain required to execute complex, high-specification pieces — parametric modeling, CNC prototyping, Invisible setting, micron-precision finishing — ceased to exist at scale in Israel. Lutin Creations spent those years quietly maintaining that chain. The Academy exists to transfer it.

Training through production, not theory.

The Academy is not a school that teaches theory and leaves students to find their own way. It is a working production environment. The most capable students work alongside our senior craftspeople on real commissions — developing the kind of judgment that only comes from producing work that must be right.

This model serves two purposes: it produces graduates who are genuinely production-ready across the full chain — 3D design, CNC manufacturing, stone cutting, casting, setting, and finishing. And it creates a pipeline of talent that allows Lutin Creations to grow its capacity for complex international orders.

The curriculum

3D Design & Digital Drafting

Parametric CAD modeling, technical stone-placement drawings, and production-ready file preparation to industry standards.

CNC Manufacturing

CNC programming and machine operation on jewelry-grade equipment, producing wax and soft metal prototypes to micron tolerance.

Stone Setting

Classical and contemporary setting methods: pavé, channel, bezel, baguette, and Invisible setting — from foundation to advanced execution.

Diamond & Gemstone Cutting

Brilliant, princess, and fancy cuts including preparation for Chanel-standard and Invisible setting. Custom sizing to exact contour specification.

Casting & Metallurgy

Gold, silver, and platinum casting from mold preparation through post-casting refinement, surface treatment, and quality control.

Finishing & Assembly

Hand finishing, assembly, polishing, and surface preparation — the final stage that determines whether a piece is truly complete.

A structured programme that moves from foundation to full production capability.

01

Foundation

Metallurgy fundamentals, tools, materials, and the history of high-jewelry production — understanding what the craft demands before touching it.

02

3D Design

CAD software, parametric modeling, and technical drawing developed to production-ready standards.

03

CNC & Prototyping

CNC programming and machine operation on the equipment used in professional jewelry manufacturing.

04

Setting Techniques

Stone setting from basic bezel through to advanced Invisible setting, developed through structured repetition and critique.

05

Cutting & Preparation

Diamond cutting and stone preparation to specification — including Chanel setting standards and custom-contour sizing.

06

Production Placement

Live production work alongside senior craftspeople on real client commissions — where judgment is built.
