I love this, I took a jewelry class 47 years ago. I have been in the medical 30+ years. I’m 62 now and taking care of my mum because she had a stroke last year. Although my mum had the stroke it brought me back to jewelry design. I did quit medical for now because at the time my mum a job didn’t mix. I love love jewelry making makes my heart happy because the possibilities of jewelry making is endless.

I love how Sima shows how despite having a disability, she continued to build upon her business and made it a success, too many of us with disabilities give up or are stopped from following our dream but she’s such an inspiration, she’s given me the encouragement I need to continue with my metal clay. Metal clay helps my physical and mental health, it should be encouraged just like Sima is doing, she’s so inspiring ❤️ x

Sima’s designs are beautiful and she is very inspiring. Great video, thank you!

During my four weeks off sick with a broken ankle and fluid on my elbow, I got round to watching this episode. The inspirational chat with Sima about why she transitioned to working with metal clay has made me think about my own plight. She is a very positive lady and has given me a lot of ideas to follow on up with.

Fantastic final episode. Sima's journey and knowledge is very inspirational and her jewellery is beautiful. I'm loving and envious of Sima's organisation of her multi-functional workspace. Great discusion around working with clients/customers especially when dealing with a product where no one is the same (gems). Wonderful that she has clearly had a successful first and second careers and the second later in life despite set-backs, very encouraging. Need more episodes please.

She has a wonderful collection doesn't she x

I love that Sima talks about switching careers and taking risks. She didn’t change herself to fit other people’s expectations and I’m sure that’s why her clients choose her and return to buy. Your customer wants to know your story and share the journey.

I love that Sima has found something that works for her. I love that she mentions you should be doing something you love!

I love how Sima seems to take on every challenge with so much grace, and how she talks through all her hurdles as positive learning points! I can see how people keep coming back for her jewellery and her!

I love that she mentions how working with metal clay is an option to work with for those with conditions that make using the metal smith saw difficult.

I'm gutted there aren't anymore episodes. They have all been so eye opening for a newbie like myself. They've been so inspiring and I'm particularly loving this final episode after having a try at silver clay. Simar is an amazingly talented lady and it gives me hope that one day, I could become successful with clay if I keeo trying hard. Thank you Jess for all the wonderful episodes ❤️

How amazing to have collections in the British museum what a dream! I've just started my metal clay journey again after an accident in which I couldn't use my hands for 2 months. It's so amazing what you can make with this material. I want to try wax carving next. Thanks for the inspiration Sima!

Sima calling her inspiration wall the “Love” wall is so cute. That’s an idea I definitely want to implement.

I love her studio organization!

I love this episode because Sima is so inspiring and loves showing Jess all her tools etc.💟

I love that Sima is influenced by the river, I think It is important that you feel happy in your space.💟

I love hearing how she adapted her projects to find compromises with the museum to create what worked for them both.

Sima is very well organized. I’m sure that having a place for everything helps tremendously in a small space.

This qualifies as a Tiny Desk! A beading assembly, Queen! And a great example of the many hats and differences between makers and designers. What a gorgeous store. I really enjoyed these last 3 episodes. Thank you Jessica and Sima.

So inspiring to hear from Sima and how she has built a successful jewellery business after a career in graphic design. I've had a career shift, so jewellery is my second career.

I love how Sima utilises her work space in such an organised and efficient way and that we have been able to see that in this episode knowing that if you have even just a small space you can fit lots into it if you're organised and methodical. Lots of great metal clay tips to utilise for this lovely medium thank you for this great and last episode.

I love this episode inspires you to be organised. I cannot understand how Sima works in such a small space with customers coming in and out.💟

It's so good to see someone running a jewellery business from a small space. It's inspiring to see that it can be done from a single desk (plus lots of innovative storage!). Aspirational, but for a lot of us, more realistic than yearning for a dedicated workshop!

The whole series was a bit disappointing. It is nice to hear about the jewelers and their businesses. However, it is boring to listen to someone talk about herself/himself for an hour and watch her/him rummage through drawers and personal items. I wanted most of the viewing time spent hearing about the artists' making process with an indepth demonstration

@@JewellersAcademy Preference is a funny thing because that is exactly what I loved about the series. The inspirational stories and the journeys that led them to jewellery making. It is an art form and the journey is just as important as the method. I guess if you want to learn the academy is there for pay for in-depth demonstrations 😊
