What a Jeweler with a GIA Diploma Means for You
There are two diplomas issues by GIA. Created in 1931, the prestigious GIA Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma teaches jewelers the science and technical knowledge needed to deal with the entire spectrum of diamonds and colored stones. The distinguished G.G. designation at the end of an individual’s name is instantly recognized around the world as the mark of a senior professional in the jewelry industry.
The GIA Accredited Jewelry Professional (A.J.P.) diploma is designed specifically for sales associates and provides them essential product knowledge they need to provide customers with accurate diamond information.
