Certificate in Basic Gemology (Intermediate level)

Far East Gem Institute was established in 1988. We have trained more than 1000 jewellers, business owners and gem lovers in the subject of gemology. We are also the Allied Teaching Center with internationally recognised Gemological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A), since 1998.In Singapore, there is a major lack of gemologists (Visit one of the top gemologists in Singapore :https://www.gemlab.com.sg) in the market. As a result, the gems and jewellery industry in Singapore is not as vibrant as it could have been. This boils down to the fact that there is a lack of confidence from consumers. There are  why this is so. First, consumers are uncertain of the value of gems. Second, they are unsure of the quality of gems. Third, consumers do not have the skills and knowledge to identify and authenticate gemstones and jewellery. The consequence is that the industry is often misunderstood and with misconceptions about what the trade is all about.At Far East Gem Institute, we see that the solution is to train up more experts in this field. We do so through a series of theoretical and practical lessons, so that our learners can have the relevant knowledge as well as the practical hands-on experience in handling gems. We also have a 4C framework that can bring our learners from just a gem lover or business owner, to a gem expert.We have seen many people coming to our gem testing laboratory,Far East Gem Lab. On many occasions, they are consumers. These consumers walk in with a worried look on their faces. They have a gem for us to test. These consumers were worried that they have been cheated. They are not sure if what they bought were of the value they paid. There were many cases where the consumers have overpaid for what they believed was a good value item. We feel that consumers should not be the ones suffering the consequences of the ignorance of the trade.Far East Gem Institute provides the opportunity for gem lovers and potential jewellers with the skills, knowledge and experience. We can help you to be the gem expert. You can be the changemaker in this industry.Far East Gem Institute initiated the setting up of The Gem Museum (https://thegemmuseum.gallery), first and most comprehensive of its kind in Singapore, for the purpose of bringing gem lovers together to share passion and experience. Here you get to learn about the mine to market process. The Gem Museum runs educational programs and exhibitions all throughout the year.
