Certified Graduate in Diamonds – IGI (International Gemological Institute)
My journey into the world of fine gems began with formal training at the International Gemological Institute (IGI), one of the most prestigious and globally recognised institutions in gemology. I proudly earned the Graduate Diamonds certification, completing an intensive curriculum focused on the technical and aesthetic mastery of diamonds.
​
The course covered everything from the science of crystallography and diamond formation to the practical skills of grading, evaluating, and identifying diamonds using the globally accepted 4Cs system—Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat Weight. We explored real-world market applications, learned to use professional instruments such as the loupe, microscope, and proportion scopes, and developed a meticulous eye for detail.
​
I graduated top of my class, an achievement that reflects my deep passion, precision, and commitment to excellence in this craft. My training has not only equipped me with technical expertise but also a profound respect for the rarity, value, and timeless beauty of each diamond.
​
This certification stands as a testament to the quality and integrity I bring to every gem I work with and every client I serve.
