The Diamond Course takes 6 months, one lesson a week for 24 weeks. The course focuses on diligent practice and 360° Diamond learning.

Here, in the Gemological Institute of Genoa, we romantically think that the way the Diamond came to light is suggestive and miraculous like the path of Beatrice, who came down from Heaven to Earth to show a miracle. A Diamond, on the contrary, came from the inner side of the Earth to show a miracle. Inspired by our love of Diamonds, we have created courses, where you can learn how to analyze Diamonds using the advanced technologies that modern Gemology offers.

You will discover the Diamond grading standards that GIA sets in the Gemology world. Besides that, you will understand it is not enough just to read a Rapaport list if you have no idea how to interpret it. Only the best Diamond dealers in the world can use it properly, and some of those dealers are the guests in our course. Also, you will learn the dynamics of the market and decide if it makes sense to invest in Diamonds. After you finish the course, you will constantly receive updates so as to not lose the experience gained.

To enroll in the Diamond Course you need to have a high school diploma or GED.

We do not want to produce experts who look at Diamonds like the Leopardi’s shepherd used to look at the moon. Above all, we want to produce modern Gemologists who are able to analyze and appraise any Diamond. That is why, during the theoretical studies we will talk about the Diamond prices on the real market.
