Onze drang tot versieren waarbij juweel en object identificatie -en expressiemiddelen bij uitstek zijn, is universeel en tijdloos. 
Juwelen en objecten vertellen een verhaal over status en stijl, mentaliteit, karakter en cultuur van de persoon die ze gebruikt. Tegelijkertijd zijn ze de getuigenis van de maatschappelijke, culturele en technologische ontwikkelingen. Daarom is edelsmeden een boeiend en veelzijdig vak dat, hoewel het steunt op een rijke ambachtelijke traditie, toch voortdurend in beweging is.

GOLDSMITHING SILVERSMITHING AND JEWELLERY DESIGN
 
Our urge for decoration, in which jewels and objects are the most important means of identification and expression, is both universal and timeless. Jewels and objects tell a story about the status and style, mentality, character and culture of the person using them. At the same time they are a witness of social, cultural and technological developments. That is why goldsmithing, silversmithing and jewellery design is such an exciting and many-faceted profession that, although it is founded on a rich craft tradition, is nevertheless subject to ongoing development.

The educational programme for the Goldsmithing, Silversmithing and Jewellery design course of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Artesis University College of Antwerp, closely follows developments in this professional domain. The focus lies on the development of individual talent, creativity and the self-motivation of the student, by means of research, content development and self-reflection.

In addition, attention is paid to the technical skills and practical insight needed for the craft. Technology and know-how of materials, gemology and the history of jewels, drawing and 3D computer drawing, make this course an exciting voyage of discovery, where curiosity and imagination are continuously stimulated.
