Practical Diamond Grading Course

We offer regular practical diamond grading courses in Hatton Garden . This two-day course will be of interest to all who have an interest in the beauty and value of polished diamonds and want to learn more. You will answer these two fundamental questions: ‘Is it real?” and “How much is it worth?”

Please note this course does NOT cover the topic of rough (uncut) diamonds. If you are interested in learning about rough diamonds our Rough-to-Polished diamond course will be of interest.

All our courses are popular and places are restricted in order to give maximum benefit to attendees. Attendees will be awarded our Certificate of Attendance at the completion of the course.
