This Isn’t Just an Earring Making Class. This is the Easiest First Step Into the (Irresistible) World of Jewelry Making.

The earrings? They’re just the vessel. This class teaches you the 101 of Jewelry Making so you can see just how incredible this skill can be. No assumed knowledge. No rushing past the hard stuff. No hands blocking your view. Just crystal-clear guidance to get you creating beautiful jewelry in no time.

Across these bite-sized lessons, you’ll learn how to:

Build a small beginner toolkit that unlocks endless possibilities

You’ll see how just a handful of simple, beginner-friendly tools can take you far beyond this one project, and open the door to making all kinds of jewelry without a studio or expensive setup.

Create tons of different earring designs with ease

You’ll learn how simple it is to make a wide variety of earring styles using the same core process. With dozens of beginner-friendly templates, it’s easy to spark creativity and keep the juices flowing.

Use one set of skills to make more than just earrings

We start with earrings because they’re fast, fun, and forgiving, but you’ll clearly see how the exact same skills carry over into pendants, necklaces, and other designs as you grow.

Add texture that makes your work look intentional (not perfect)

This is where the magic really happens. You’ll learn how easy it is to add texture that gives your earrings personality, hides tiny imperfections, and turns simple shapes into drool-worthy pieces.

Plus, you’ll learn tons of other foundational jewelry making skills, like how to:

These (intentionally) organic designs are super forgiving if your cuts are wonky at first, and with a bit of texture on top, you can ensure even your first attempts are wearable and professional-looking.

So What Tools Do You Actually Need for This Class?

(Don’t worry, no expensive shopping sprees are required!)

As promised, this class requires no solder and no flames. Just a small collection of useful tools that will last you years. You’ll need something to cut your metal, clean up the edges, add holes and texture, and a couple of simple things to link everything together!

We firmly believe there’s always more than one way to do something, which means there’s always more than one tool to do it with. When you sign up to this class, we’ll give you all the lowdown of what tools you could use, and how to choose the right ones for you. There’s options if you’re on a budget or if you’re feeling like a splurge - but the reality is, getting started doesn’t have to be expensive! We’ll show you how to make the tools you have work for you - it’s all about modification, baby.

We've Helped Over 8,000+ Students on Their Jewelry-Making Journey (and to Have Fun Along the Way)!

Hear what one of them had to say about this beginner class:

"I'm a total beginner (like, never made anything with my hands in my life!) but I've always thought jewelry making seemed like an awesome hobby that I'd love to do. I'm a business owner and spend all day thinking and just wanted to find something I could do to switch off, relax, that felt productive.

I figured making metal jewelry would be super hard though, so when I saw this beginner class that made it sound so easy, I was curious! I made my first pair this weekend (in just over 2 hours) and I even shocked myself at how good they looked! I almost can't believe I made them. The videos and handout are so clear you can't really get lost, and Lucy explains things in a way that just makes sense. She's also really funny and makes it feel fun to learn.
I can't wait to make more!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included inside the class lessons?

Each lesson has everything you need including:
Crystal clear videos - Enjoy beautifully shot, engaging videos that never block your view (no seriously, we’re obsessive about that!). Each video will help you understand scale, see exactly how the jewelry-making tools are used, and take you up close and personal with all the nitty-gritty details.
Detailed Explanations - In order to help you to truly ‘get it’ and translate these lessons to your own unique designs, we ensure you understand not only the how but also the why. Don’t worry though, we also pledge that all our videos are as waffle-free as possible - packed only with the need-to-know info you’ll actually use.
Detailed Handout - Get lifetime access to our handout, your ultimate wingman (or woman) for this class. With pages and pages of glorious full-color photos and written instructions, you’ll love having this on hand in your studio as you fire up your torch.

Is this class only for beginners?

I’m a firm believer that learning (or relearning) jewelry making fundamentals can be helpful no matter how much experience you’ve got! While this class is a great class for total newbies, if you’ve already clocked some hours at the bench, I’m confident you’ll get a ton out of the lessons as well. It’s designed to leave you with finished jewelry pieces in hours, not weeks, all while practicing essential skills you’ll use everyday as a jewelry maker. No matter how much time you’ve spent making jewelry so far, this is the best-next project for you.

Do I need any experience?

No! This class is for absolute beginners who want to figure out if making jewelry is for them. It’s also great for people who have been making jewelry with other mediums (like clay, wire or beads), or even those who have done some metal jewelry making in the past, but have lost steam.

Each lesson breaks the process down into simple steps anyone can complete…even if you’ve never made a piece of jewelry before in your life! Every video only takes just a few minutes, and builds on the last thing you learned, so you can grow your skills and your confidence.

You’ll get addicted to the feeling of getting faster with each pair of earrings you create, and super smug when you can eventually knock a pair out in less than 30 minutes. The best part is, the earrings themselves are the practice. These organic designs actually look better when your saw work isn’t perfect!

You don’t need weeks of free time, a fancy studio or nerves of steel. You just need clear, step-by-step direction that removes the guesswork.

Why is this a “No Solder” Class?

Because after talking to thousands of jewelry makers over the years, soldering is the sticking point I hear over and over again. And here’s the thing: soldering isn’t actually the scary part. Once you know the rules, it’s totally doable… but jumping straight to fire before you feel confident cutting, shaping, drilling and finishing metal? That’s where people get stuck.

I’ve been dreaming about creating this class for years. Something that lets you build real metal jewelry, properly, without needing a torch on day one. Not as a workaround or shortcut. But as a smart first step.

This no-solder approach gives you time to get comfy with the metal itself. You learn how it behaves, how to control your tools, how to make clean, intentional pieces… all the stuff that makes soldering feel way less intimidating later on.

And when it’s time you are excited to bring fire into the mix (and you will be soon enough), it doesn’t feel like a leap off a cliff. It just feels like the next logical step.

What makes this class different from free tutorials on YouTube?

In short: quality of videography. No hands blocking your view. No moments when you say, “wait, when the f$&@ did she do that?!” This class is a full-sized course filmed from multiple angles so you actually see what’s happening.

All our classes are known for their structure, depth, and no-fluff policy. There’s no ads, no vague “and then you just sand it” moments… just clear, professional instruction that walks you through every step (with a few cheeky jokes to keep it fun).

Humbly speaking, the quality of our classes are akin to jewelry schools, or what you’d find in an online accreditation. This class is a steal compared to the value you’re getting inside!

What Tools Do You Actually Need for This Class?

As promised, this class requires no solder and no flames. Just a small collection of useful tools that will last you years. You’ll need something to cut your metal, clean up the edges, add holes and texture, and a couple of simple things to link everything together!

We firmly believe there’s always more than one way to do something, which means there’s always more than one tool to do it with. When you sign up to this class, we’ll give you all the lowdown of what tools you could use, and how to choose the right ones for you. There’s options if you’re on a budget or if you’re feeling like a splurge - but the reality is, getting started doesn’t have to be expensive! We’ll show you how to make the tools you have work for you - it’s all about modification, baby.

How much do I need to spend on tools to actually complete this no-solder earring project?

A great question! I’m not going to pretend you can make these pieces with your bare hands alone, but I can promise you that the tools list for this project is as simple as it gets. And, you’ll continue to use these same tools for years to come! The basic toolkit we outline will cost you about $100- $150, and for materials, we’re talking about $30-$50 for those. Obviously this can all vary, but hopefully that’s a helpful guide. And honestly, you might even have half the tools lying around in your garage!

Plus, we’ve also been chatting to some of our favorite tool companies, and putting something exclusive together to make it even more affordable to build your toolkit! More on that inside the class 😉

What if I want to make more than earrings?
The earrings we’ll make in this class are just a vessel. It’s all about getting comfortable working with metal, understanding how the tools behave, and learning a repeatable process you can use again and again. By the end, you won’t be guessing, copying, or hoping things work out. You’ll have the confidence to tweak designs, try new shapes, and turn the same skills into pendants, charms, and other projects down the track.
Does this class come with an epic downloadable handout?

Absolutely! We all learn in different ways, which is why all our classes are accompanied by at least one detailed downloadable handout. This handout is designed to be the class companion you never knew you needed! Full of clear instructions, full-colour photos and bonus tips, this handout is destined to make your life just that much easier when working at your bench. Download it when you sign in to the class, and it’s yours to keep for life!

How long do I have access to the class?
You get 12 months of unlimited access to this Jewelry Making for Beginners - No Solder Earring class from the day you purchase
Why can’t I get video access for more than 12 months?

The only reason we offer 12-month access (instead of lifetime) is so we can keep the price super accessible and still deliver high-quality, regularly updated classes. Most students find a full year is the perfect amount of time to enjoy the projects without feeling rushed, and it’s the sweet spot that keeps things affordable and sustainable. “Lifetime access” sounds lovely, but behind the scenes it means we’re paying for hosting, streaming, and platform updates until the end of time. Keeping it to 12 months is what lets our tiny (but mighty!) team offer affordable classes while keeping everything fair and sustainable (we’re a small business who’s gotta survive too).

The good news? This class also comes with a detailed step-by-step handout you can download and keep forever - and this is so thorough you often don’t need ongoing video access. Even just downloading the handouts for this class will save you so much money in the long run.

Is this really worth $27?

I get it, a price tag like that can be a red flag when other classes cost hundreds of dollars. This class is actually closer to studio-level classes and online jewelry schools in terms of quality (and those can cost upwards of $200+ each!) And if you’re used to watching free videos on YouTube - humbly speaking, this class doesn’t compare to the free stuff you’ll find online. In my opinion, it’s worth much more than $27 in terms of the quality of videos, obsessive detail included, and quality handouts that accompany the class. But I want this to be accessible for anyone wanting to get into jewelry making, so that’s why it’s so heavily discounted right now.

The best part about this class is that you can continue to access the teaching for a full 12-months. You’re not leaving the lessons in the studio, you’re bringing them with you! Stop/start/repeat the class as many times as you want.

Is there really a 30 day money back guarantee?

Absolutely there is. I’m so confident you’re going to love this class that I’ll happily take on the risk myself… if you purchase this beginner jewelry making class and find you don't’ absolutely love it, I’ll give you a full refund. Just let me know by emailing academy@lucywalkerjewelry.com within 30-days, and you can have all your money back - no questions asked!
