Jewellery design is not just about crafting ornaments; it is a profound expression of emotions and artistry. The jewellery course is thoughtfully designed to foster creativity through experimentation and hands-on experiential learning.

Programme Overview

Jewellery design is an artistic expression that blends creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation. The B.Des in Jewellery Design at ARCH College fosters this spirit through hands-on learning, combining traditional techniques with modern technology.
