The Online Jewelry Academy (OJA) was established in 2012 by co-founders John Ahr and Don Hunt. Working with just a cell phone camera, the two produced their first videos for YouTube. The response to their initial videos was encouraging. So, Ahr and Hunt decided to continue to produce educational videos for anyone interested in making jewelry. As their access to video recording and editing technology increased, so did the number and quality of their videos. But, the two men have remained consistent in adhering to three principles in each of their videos:
Safety First
Step-by-step instruction that's easy to follow
Concise and interesting lessons
