Become an expert in laboratory-grown diamonds with this comprehensive, step-by-step online course.
Millions of laboratory-grown diamonds are being released into the jewellery market every month. Contradictory to common belief, the majority of these have high colour grades (D-E-F), great clarities (VS2 and above) and can be very difficult to detect… but not impossible.
On completion of this course, you will know all about the history of laboratory-grown diamonds, how they are grown and how this differs to natural diamond. You will have advanced knowledge of the different production processes and know the current quality standards and sizes produced today. You will learn which diamond types and colours can be grown by HPHT and CVD diamond synthesis, and learn how these stones can be treated to create other colours.
Importantly, you will be taught all the methods of identification – mainly focusing on how to separate these stones from natural diamonds. You will learn all the tests available to you; from observation and basic tests through to advanced tests and equipment designed specifically for the separation of laboratory-grown diamonds.
You will have direct access to your tutor during the course (and beyond), and will have unlimited personal access to the course materials – including all future updates!
All this is packaged in a user-friendly, step-by-step course that has been designed for effective and entertaining learning. Teaching styles include; video, animation, PDF downloads, infographics, quizzes, slideshows, written text and tutor/peer forums.
