The formation of the E.G.L. College
of Gemology
E.G.L. introduced diamond-grading
courses in 1983. At that time investing in certified diamonds was
very popular, however the public did not understand what investment
grade diamonds meant or how to read a certificate. E.G.L. devised a
short course which covered just enough for people to understand how
diamonds were graded and how to read the certificate. In 1997 the
course was re-written to cover formation of diamonds through to the
actual practical grading and pricing of diamonds. Due to the demand
for training in the field of diamonds and diamond grading, tanzanite, coloured stones and the
increase of the knowledge of the consumer it has become evident that
it was essential for the jeweller to enhance the skills and abilities
of his sales personnel. The E.G.L. College of Gemology was set up to
formally present courses to fill these needs of the industry.
