Affordable platinum jewelry cannot be bought cheaply at online brand name stores. Any jewelry that you would be looking at would be in the thousands, even earrings. However, if this is included in your price range, Zales sells platinum jewelry. Online stores such as Amazon sell used jewelry or like new jewelry for much cheaper.
I would check out YouTube. For example search "Visual Basic Internet Browser tutorial" and you would get many tutorials on how to make it. You could also do the same in Google.

There are many doll making/sculpting tutorials online that would help. If you were planning on sewing a plushie, I would experiment with felt first - easy to sew and use (no seams to finish, etc.). Printed out iron-on sheets would work well for the details (eyes, mouth, jewelry, etc.)
There will be many tutorials online. I would start there and then go look for classes.
I would suggest having someone help you with this task if this is your first time doing it. There are many places online that you can find books on how to do it yourself for almost anything for cars.

I would recommend browsing diamond and jewelry online price indexes whcih may offer price comparisons on designer jewelry. Also, online information regarding jewelry prices are availabe and easy to locate and browse.
Depends if you want to learn for free online or take classes. Personally I would suggest going to shortcourses.com or digital-photography-school.com for specific tutorials.

I would definitely give online tutorials a try!
I would start at the Microsoft website. Microsoft continually offers tutorials.
