Join SSEF’s gemmological course programme

Because knowledge is everything in gems and jewellery.

SSEF courses are proven and efficient at developing skills and highlighting important topics at all levels of gemmology by offering students the rare opportunity to learn from our exceptional team of highly trained senior gemmologists and instructors. We offer hands-on courses in coloured gemstones, diamonds, pearls, and jewellery in order to give you practical skills to thrive in the trade.  Criteria for the identification, authenticity determination (natural vs synthetic, natural vs cultured, modern vs historical), treatment detection, origin determination, grading, and quality control are taught to students in small, intense groups with highly experienced gemmologists and instructors.
