Stelios Karantonas offers jewellery-making courses shaped by over two decades of hands-on experience at the bench. These small group courses —max 4 students — are held in his quiet, well-pro equipped London jewellery studio and focus on wax carving, stone setting, silversmithing, unique techniques, and hand-fabricated jewellery design. Personal, immersive, and craft-led, each course offers an approach to the craft very different from the traditional schools — space to slow down, ask questions, and truly learn through making and mistakes.

With 20 years in fine jewellery making and over a decade teaching at Central London jewellery schools in Hatton Garden. Stelios with a wide perspective of the industry, he has guided hundreds of beginners, hobbyists, and professionals alike to build skills, refine techniques, create distinctive collections, and launch their own jewellery brands. His teaching runs alongside his own jewellery brand , carrying the same love, precision, thoughtfulness, and quiet intensity that defines his work at the bench.

Wax Carving

Silversmith Courses

What sets these courses apart the norms; is not only the way that is taught, but also, what is shared. Students gain rare insight into how a working jewellery studio functions — from sourcing gemstones to collaborating with trusted UK and international casters and suppliers. It’s the kind of knowledge usually kept behind closed studio doors.

Unique Techniques

Through every session, Stelios aims to pass down his deep appreciation for jewellery making and his respect for the integrity of the craft — not only as a technical tradition, but as something worth preserving, evolving, and handing forward to future generations. He teaches the ‘how’, but always encourages students to explore the ‘why’ — for a deeper, more intuitive connection to the work they create.

What the students say…

  • The best Wax Carving Course for Stone Setting

    After reading great reviews I decided to book in some time to learn stone setting in wax. Stelios is a fantastic teacher, he is patient, very technically knowledgeable and creates a relaxed learning environment. Stelios has opened the door for me on stone setting and I feel confident and full of ideas that I can't wait to start making. Highly recommend!

  • Achieving a Professional Finish with Stelios

    “I had the pleasure of spending some time with Stelios in his London studio with the goal of developing my polishing skills - specifically how to get that perfect mirror polish finish. In just 5 hours Stelios turned me into a polishing pro. He has a brilliant ability to break down seemingly big challenges into manageable well guided processes. Showing me new techniques, tools and products that could help me achieve the professional standard I was looking for. Thanks so much Stelios, my jewellery is sparkling!!!”
