The Director of GIA London, Edward Johnson, Welcomes You
"Welcome to GIA London. Since 2000, our campus has become one of the Institute's most popular choices for students around the globe seeking the world's finest gemmological education. Our staff here at GIA London is dedicated to providing you with the skills and knowledge you need to develop a brilliant career in the gem and jewellery industry. Walk into any of the major jewellery houses on Bond Street and you'll find successful professionals with the world renowned G.G. designation at the end of their name.
At GIA London, you'll have the opportunity to experience the wonders of the jewellery industry both inside and outside of the classroom. No other educational programme in the world has offered students the unforgettable opportunity to view and handle genuine diamond octahedrons and parcels of rough diamonds at the Diamond Trading Company (a member of the De Beers Group). For over 70 years, GIA has been providing students throughout the world with the most valuable, enjoyable and comprehensive gemmological education available. And I invite you to belong to that respected tradition!"
