Bio

The son of a jeweler, Jonas Fitz took his first steps learning from his father. He studied stone cutting for two years and complemented his knowledge in jewelry and casting at SENAI and the Technological Center for Stones, Gems, and Jewelry in Rio Grande do Sul, where he later became a teacher.

He split over 20 years of experience between creating jewelry, teaching, and developing equipment like 3D printers for the jewelry market.

In 2018, Jonas founded his jewelry school focusing on 3D jewelry, teaching CAD design, 3D printing, jewelry casting, finishing, stone setting, and positioning and marketing strategies, with over 2,500 students from Brazil and around the world. In 2022, Jonas began studying with Ben Bentvelzen to learn the most sophisticated aspects of jewelry.

He held an executive position in 2024 as Industrial Director and Product Director at Vivara, the largest jewelry brand in Latin America.

Now Jonas brings all this experience alongside his teacher, friend, and now partner at the GRS Training Center Europe, to share this expertise with his students and continue contributing to the jewelry world.
