“Simply put, David Benlolo is a fantastic
teacher. With his guidance and expertise,
I went from having design ideas in my mind
to actually creating beautiful jewelry. This is
by far the best jewelry class in NYC.”

Susan Woldman

"There is no jewelry school like the
Benlolo Jewelry Academy. The curriculum is
personalized with your own hands-on training.
At the end of courses, you will be stepping out
with dazzling jewelry & happy smiles."

“David's class is amazing. He is a patient
teacher willing to share his incredible talent
and craftsmanship with his students. The ring
I made is one of my most prized possessions
and I cannot wait to take another class.”

Lynne Potter

“I will always treasure the class time I spent
with David! I learned so much and had such
an amazing experience with both learning
design principals and solid core skills.
I can't say enough good things about
David and the school!"

Rachel Williams

“As a graduate of RISD's jewelry and
metalsmithing department, I had gained solid
experience in being a bench jeweler. I knew,
however, that I wanted to develop my skills and
sense of style further. When I discovered David,
I had no idea what to expect but I instinctively
knew that the classes were going to be very
good. A year later, I have learned so many
aspects of design and fabrication that I am
blown away when I see the work I have created.
I have no doubt that it was due to David's
excellent ability to teach, challenge my
process of design, and help to solve technical
problems. His patience and commitment toward
students has been exceptional. David works with
students one on one, guiding them through
the process. I am always blown away with how
his students progress. David's passion for jewelry
and teaching has empowered his students to
discover their hidden talent."

Kim Kadish

“David is a genius at what he does. Every time I work
with him, I am in awe. His passion for making each
and every piece of jewelry a work of art, his
craftsmanship, his encouragement and patience —
I don`t know if i ever met a person who inspires me
as much as he does."
