What Our Graduates Say
The gemology programme at IIG completely transformed my career. The hands-on lab sessions with real gem specimens were unlike anything else. Within 3 months of graduating, I got placed at a leading gem export house in Mumbai.
I had no background in diamonds but the Diamond Graduate programme at IIG took me from zero to certified professional. The De Beers curriculum is world class and the faculty is incredibly experienced. Now I work as a grader at IGI.
The jewellery design course gave me both technical skill and creative confidence. I learnt CAD design, wax carving, and got to build a full portfolio. I now run my own jewellery brand and IIG gave me the foundation for it.
