Green Jewelry's first lecture which was held in August was a big success.Seeing the popularity the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts has scheduled another session for March 7.

As the consumers today are demanding more of ethically sourced materials the academy developed the one-day class to meet the changing need of the jewelry industry.

The main focus of the class will be on the source from where metals and gemstones come from, about "green" suppliers and the ways to implement the tactics to promote healthy mining practices.

The participants will also learn how to respond to customer's questions about the sourcing and sustainability of materials.

The major points to be covered in the class are  gold testing, ingot making, safe and eco-friendly studio practices, future green-business certification and many more.

Gary Rowe, a jewelry businessman from Arkansas who took the Green Jewelry class last August, said: "Everyone in our industry needs to make sure our processes and procedures are ethical and safe. I had actively sought scientific information, specific to the jewelry industry without success. The class at Revere provided me with what I needed, plus numerous resources in a succinct, one-day format."

The timings and the registration fee are from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., costs $129, with $50 of the fee going to Ethical Metalsmiths (EthicalMetalsmiths.org). To register, visit Revere Academy's Web site, RevereAcademy.com.
