As the lead curriculum developer at Sheffield School, I'm fascinated with jewelry as an art form. If you're interested in learning more about jewelry design, then we encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

I have to catch my breath and re-read the amount Graff paid for the W-G…even here in real estate-obsessed L.A., that price would be exorbitant for a 10-bedroom oceanfront mansion on the Pacific!
