The IGI School of Gemology conducted a 10-day course in Polished Diamonds for the pan India Store Heads of Malabar Gold & Diamonds. The session gave the team a thorough understanding of diamonds- their evolution, mining processes and the grading standards.

The session on polished diamond covered everything from the morphology of rough diamonds, the 4C’s – clarity, color, cut and carat weight as well as the science of identifying treatments, imitations and synthetic diamonds. The specially designed curriculum helped the team understand the many aspects in diamonds and took them through the various processes that a diamond has to undergo in order to attain the regalia.
