Our series of short practical diamond grading and coloured stones courses, increase attendees gem knowledge to a level where they are confident in buying and selling diamonds and other precious stones.

We host our courses in London and also teach other training courses organised by leading UK gem and jewellery educational organisations, including the National Association of Goldsmiths and the National Pawnbrokers’ Association.

Q1.     “Do I Have To Have Prior Gem Knowledge?”

One of the major attractions of our short gem courses and seminars is that no prior gem experience or knowledge is necessary to obtain maximum benefit.

Participation numbers per course are restricted in order you gain the full benefit of Eric’s teaching and experience.

Participants are mostly those new to or wishing to enter the gem and jewellery trade and those who have a passion for gems as an interest. Those with any amount of trade experience wishing to ‘brush-up’ their gem awareness will also find our courses of immediate advantage.
