Hello and thank you in advance,

I recently learned that my (much) younger brother has gotten into jewelry making/design. He is taking a class in high school and really loves it.

Things that he's done in the course: "we just started with cutting out copper, then we learned about texture for arm bands, then connecting metal with rivets (copper + brass), kinetic pieces with resin in bezels, soldering with silver rings, then finally sweat soldering and bezel settings with silver either on top of our ring or a different piece"

He is moving away to college and was hoping to get him something as a high school graduation gift that is within this world. Is there a tool or tool kit that's recommended? The other thought would be a gift card to a store or lessons (he's moving to Vancouver) since I don't know how big the tools are and if it makes sense to get that kind of stuff before moving. Any other thoughts or ideas you'd recommend?

This is a world I really know nothing about so I appreciate your help!
