May sees us holding our latest Practical Diamond Grading Course in Hatton Garden over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. You will be introduced to the identification of the gem (spot CZ, moissanites, laser-drilled diamonds and fracture-filled stones), how to judge quality through the 4Cs, go beyond these four to judging the beauty of diamonds by assessing what makes for the ‘sparkle’ of diamonds. We finish the weekend with a look at the current rarity and prices of polished diamonds.
On Sunday 16th our Gem Inclusion Master Class is for those who know a little of gems (perhaps having explored my Coloured Stones course) and wish to learn how the internal world of gems (please don’t call them flaws!) helps judge their excellence. No dull gem constants are taught: this is not a gem testing workshop. Remember inclusions are great fun to look at! Use our gem stereo-microscope for the day!
The National Association of Goldsmiths has asked me to teach my Diamond Grading Course for Retailers (and Valuers) at their HQ in the City of London on Tues 18th and Wed 19th. The course is tailored for the retailer who wishes to sell more diamonds through acquiring greater product knowledge and it’s a great opportunity to network with fellow retailers. More details and booking information from Amanda White at the NAG on 020 7613 4445 or amandaw@jewellers-online.org
On the 26th we continue our bespoke gem courses for pawnbrokers hosted by the National Pawnbrokers Association.
