In 2017, following several months of hard learning and establishing connections in the field, I decided to apply for a diamond grading courseat the most respected and well-known gemological institution in the US, called GIA. I managed to win a scholarship and successfully complete the program with an excellent grade.
During my studies I gained valuable experience in grading the 4 main characteristics of a
diamond (colour, clarity, carat and cut), which influence a diamond’s final value (called
internationally the ’4C-s’ – learn more about this in our Diamond Guide ).
