Jewellery Design and Management International School

The Jewellery Design and Management International School (Abbreviation: JDMIS) is a school specializing in the jewellery industry based in Singapore.

The JDMIS is a jewellery design and management school that provides education and inspiration by means of academic programs in jewellery design, history, marketing and management as well as vocational training in the technology and production of designer jewellery.

Background
The JDMIS is a private limited company registered in Singapore in 2007 and provides jewellery industry training in Singapore. Over 17,000 students have completed professional jewellery training courses and over 4,500 participants have graduated with Certificate or Diploma qualifications.

It offers modularized skills training: 30 hour industry-recognized and SkillsFuture-supported certification courses, formal diploma and advanced diploma qualifications with established pathways to degree courses in UK Universities including Birmingham City University and University of Sunderland.

The Dean of the JDMIS, Tanja M. Sadow is a jeweller, gemologist, and educator in Singapore and has worked with the Gemological Institute of America training US-based residence and extension courses as well as teaching the first GIA international extension course in Singapore. Her background includes the development of curricula for the Jewellery Industry Training Centre of Singapore in 1991–1994.

In 2018, JDMIS entered a joint-venture with Management Development Institute of Singapore in order to expand its market and provide training to younger school-leavers. In 2022, JDMIS majority shareholders bought back the shares issued to MDIS to better manage the school's focus on the development of the jewellery industry, according to the founder's vision. In 2023, JDMIS moved into the National Design Centre of Singapore, expanding its general-interest jewellery activities for the public.
