What is GIA ?   The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the premier school for jewelry education in the world.  It has many introductory jewelry courses but the ultimate is the Graduate Gemologist Diploma.

What does all this mean to you?   To become a jeweler and sell to the public all that is needed is a business license.  There is no requirement to be formally trained.  Therefore many jewelers have little or no training at all or just rely on what their supplier told them, which may not be accurate. For this reason, the consumer often gets a poor quality product.

The GIA Graduate Gemologists are an elite few who have chosen on their own to seek the ultimate in training available to the industry.  They are trained in Diamonds, Diamond Grading, Gem Identification, Colored Stone Grading. They have trained at GIA and passed vigorous testing before being awarded  the Graduate Gemologist Diploma.  Not one retailer in 10 has one.

Sayers Jewelers and Gemologists has two full time GIA graduate gemologists to serve you as well as other staff members that have their diamond diplomas. You can be assured that you are dealing with a professional who knows his product and can guide you in the right direction to make sure your jewelry investment is a wise one.
