The main branch is located inside the Israel Diamond Exchange in Ramat – Gan – the vibrant heart of the global diamond business.

The gemological college was established, with three main goals in mind:


  • Qualify graduates who are then equipped with the professionalism and skills to help them integrate in the diamond, gemstones and jewelry industry across the world, as well as all gem trade branches.

  • Provide the graduates with inspection tools and ethical code, aimed at helping them to become excellent, dedicated and committed professionals, enabling them to smooth their way into the diamond, gemstones and jewelry trade business.

The gemological College has succeeded in applying these goals, by striving to set high teaching standards from the outset, building an inventive, unique and practical curriculum, based upon many years of experience, and of the leading gemological institutes in Europe and the USA. It provides theoretical courses with an emphasis on practical application. All this – by GIA graduate staff, with many years of experience, and by the gemological laboratory's staff which is at the students' disposal at any time.


The curriculum includes all technical aspects of diamond grading and gemstones identification; reading, analyzing and issuing of gemological certificates; introduction to rough diamonds, including the marking , cleaving, manufacturing and classification principles; jewelry manufacturing basis and the Diamond Exchange regulations and trade rules.
