Diamond technology courses
This is above and beyond what a diamond buyer wants to know, but if you want to get into high end jewellery retail or diamond wholesale then it’s certainly a great accreditation to have - or one to ask for if you’re already in the industry.
I haven’t done it myself but many of my co-workers from my previous work had and those keen to learn benefited a lot. I was “the computer guy” so I got away with not doing it, but of course I picked up a lot about pricing and grading when coding diamond pricing calculators and floating prices with the index.
There’s only one organisation providing education in this field in Australia and it’s the Gemological Association of Australia. If you click on your state under “GAA State Divisions” you will see pricing and when the courses run. If you’re only interested in accreditation in diamonds then Diamond Technology is what you want.
If you’re in North America then you can go direct to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and do their Graduate Diamond Diploma.
