This immersive program is designed to give you a deep insight into the trading of colored gem rough.
Through practical exercises and the use of field gemological tools, you will learn the basics of the grading, analysis and valuation of colored gem rough.
As part of the “Colored Gem Rough Grading and Analysis” course, a field trip is included in the program. We have organized a trip on day 5 and 6 to Chanthaburi, a province in southeast Thailand, fringing the Gulf of Thailand, known for gem dealing and tropical fruit.
The trip is 2 days and 1 night, leaving Friday morning and returning Saturday night. The cost of the trip is included in the tuition fee for this program (transport, food, accommodation included).
The Colored Gem Rough Analysis course has been developed for:
Gem buyers: professionals wanting to develop new competencies and be able to trade colored gemstones at their sources.
Gem professionals and gemologists: professionals wishing to further develop their competencies about colored gemstones.
Graduates from the Institute of Gem Trading will have an increased ability to find a position in the trade or to start their own business.
