I entered the jewellery business in 2004 when I pursued the Applied Jewelry Professional and Graduate Diamond Diploma Programs from GIA in Dubai. My experience here has been excellent, and I am much more confident now that I have completed the program.”

Now, I want to pursue a career in jewellery designing seriously, so I enrolled in the GIA Jewelry Design Program. My experience was great, in fact, even better than what I had imagined. Now, I cannot wait to embark on my career as a jewellery designer.”
