GIA GG Program in Mumbai

World-class gemmology education for industry professionals

GIA (Gemological Institute of America) will offer its internationally recognised Graduate Gemologist (GG) diploma program in Mumbai from February 02, 2017.The programme gives students access to world-class education in gemmology.

The 26-week GG programme (Graduate Diamonds 7 weeks + Graduate Colored Stones 19 weeks) combines theory with practical hands-on learning. The course, taught by experienced instructors, teaches students the grading and identification skills to prepare for a career as a buyer, appraiser, retailer or other gem and jewellery professional.

Students gain both technical expertise and practical skills to evaluate gemstones using the GIA-developed 4Cs (colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight) of diamond quality, the International Diamond Grading System and the Colored Stone Grading System.

Students learn to grade diamonds consistently and accurately in the D-to-Z colour range; use a microscope, a polariscope, a refractometer and other gemmological equipment; identify hundreds of common and unusual gemstones; detect synthetics, simulants and treated gems; understand value and the path gems take from mine to market; and speak the language of gemstones accurately, confidently and fluently to consumers.

GIA, the global leader in gem and jewellery education, also offers full-and part-time courses on diamonds, coloured stones, pearls, merchandising, jewellery design, retail and more. The Institute conducts regular corporate seminars on jewellery-related topics across 60 cities in India.
