As a former GIA instructor, Master Gemologist Appraiser® and award-winning gemologist with years of experience across many facets of the gems and jewelry industry, from the front lines as a store owner, appraiser, to scientific research, and academic teaching, I started Gempractica to respond to the critical need for expert training and professional development that drives real results in today’s highly competitive yet promising jewelry industry.Â
As the industry evolves, the demand for highly skilled professionals with a deep understanding of gemology, jewelry valuation, and customer engagement has never been greater. Our training programs, seminars, and talks are crafted to the highest standards of excellence, providing hands-on learning and practical skills enriched by real-world insights from working with high-profile clients and legal experts. In an industry where there is little to no room for error, whether it's misidentifying a moissanite stone as a diamond, incorrectly grading an SI diamond as VS, or inappropriately approaching a VIP client and missing the opportunity for a six-figure sale—accuracy and professionalism are crucial. Our programs are designed to ensure your staff achieves tangible results and handles high-stakes situations with expertise.Â
We cater to organizations of all sizes around the globe, offering both online and on-site training options. Investing in professional development not only builds your team’s confidence and skills but also enhances customer satisfaction and drives business growth.Â
