The Montreal School of Gemmology’s Gem and Jewellery Appraisal program is recognized by the Canadian Jeweller’s Association.
Dedicated exclusively to evaluation techniques pertaining to gems and jewellery, our course focuses on practical work with our vast collection of coloured gems, diamonds, pearls, and jewellery to prepare students for the tasks and challenges they will encounter as appraisers.
Organized visits to local jewellery manufacturers, practicing appraisers, computer assisted design workshops, and others along with lectures from respected industry professionals and experts allow students to start building their own network of professional contacts
