We love to show off our gem creations on this forum but this time, I'm proud of something a bit bigger...
Since December I've been writing gem cutting and business classes with a few people in Bangkok and our institute is almost open. We just started posting on social media and we are very excited to open in June and start training the new generation of cutters and buyers around the world!
Also, we have a really beautiful video coming in a few weeks that we created about "The Samahdi of Gem Cutting" about the clear, focused state of mind that one enters when they cut stones.

I wish you guys the best of everything in your new enterprise. Sounds like you are taking up where GIA ends. This is a much needed addition to the gemology World.
I have a young Masai man the I am helping to get into the gemology World. Hopefully, he will be attending GIA in Bangkok this fall. He would really benefit from what you are doing. How long does your course take, and how much are the tuition, books, and supplies?

Not everything is finalized but once the school is open and we are running our full program it will take about 1 month... 1/3 rough, 1/3 cutting and 1/3 gem business training. I’m not sure about the price. They haven’t told me yet !
