An informative day covering these beautiful and important gemstones. You will begin by looking at their physical properties and identification of natural ruby, sapphire and emerald, followed by their treatments (including lead-glass filling of ruby), simulants and synthetics.
You will be able to handle and examine a wide range of these gems from Gem-A's extensive collection. Students will gain experience through hands-on observation and testing techniques with guidance from our tutors. Whether you buy, sell or value gems or gem-set jewellery, or simply have a love for these gems, this is your opportunity to update your knowledge.
Short courses and workshops will be held at the Gem-A London headquarters from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, unless otherwise stated. Due to limited class sizes, early booking is recommended. To register for a workshop, please fill out a short courses and workshops booking form and return it with your payment to Gem-A.
