Diamond Grading Workshop
Learn the ABC's of the 4C's. With an emphasis on hands-on practical work, this two-day diamond grading workshop will give you the skills to understand diamond quality reports from major laboratories such as GIAGTL, HRD, and AGS as well as the ability to apply their standards when examining and grading loose diamonds.
Using carefully chosen specimens, 10x loupe and microscope will learn how to grade:
CARAT. Often an initial identifying feature, it is important to know how to correctly and precisely measure and weigh a diamond.
CLARITY. You will learn about different diamond inclusions, how to grade clarity and how to plot the inclusions on a diamond diagram.
COLOUR. Using calibrated master diamonds you will learn how to grade the colour of loose diamonds.
CUT. You will learn techniques to help you grade this often misunderstood or underestimated characteristic of diamond grading.
You will also learn about diamond simulants such as CZ and synthetic moissanite and how to distinguish them from natural diamonds. We will also discuss common diamond treatments. The workshop includes an EGM diamond-grading manual.
An EGM letter of completion will be issued to students who participate and pass a final practical test. EGM will also issue an official receipt for tax purposes.
Discounts :
