π Adamas Studios Philanthropic Plan: Training Female Bench Jewelers
Adamas Studios is committed to empowering women in traditionally male-dominated trades, such as metalsmithing and bench jewelry craftsmanship.
At launch, Adamas Studios collaborates with highly skilled craftspeople in Surat, India, who bring exceptional artistry to our jewelry. However, as admirers of female metalsmiths and with the long-term vision to bring production in-house, Adamas Studios aims to develop an on-staff bench jewelry team in the U.S. and U.K. As our first step, Gabrielle starts metalsmithing classes on April 7th!
To achieve this, we are launching a fully funded, paid training and mentorship program to:
β Hire and train aspiring female bench jewelers
β Support womenβs career growth in fine jewelry craftsmanship
β Develop a rotating, highly skilled team of female jewelers
β Encourage entrepreneurship by allowing jewelers to create their own side businesses
This program is not just about employmentβitβs about creating sustainable, long-term career paths for women in jewelry craftsmanship.
