In order to promote the informed purchasing of gemstones, the Gemological Institute of America’s India chapter held a seminar on diamonds for the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry’s Ladies Organisation in Indore. 

The knowledge sharing event took place in partnership with Indore-based diamond jewellery boutique Zevar by Sethis, the GIA India announced on Facebook. Close to 140 diamond connoisseurs and diamond jewellery buyers attended the seminar.
 
“Through GIA, we believe in providing the right knowledge to customers,” said Zevar by Sethis’ co-founder Neha Sethi, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council reported on its website. “This seminar gave confidence to women and will create a never-ending story of belief and faith in their gem and jewellery purchase.”

The seminar covered a number of diamond characteristics and an overview of coloured gemstones. The session was led by Arjun Pansari, the GIA India’s instruction manager. 
 
“It was an extremely fruitful session presented by GIA India,” said Team FLO Indore 22-23 chairperson Payal Agarwal. “The topic, ‘Introduction to Diamonds and Gemstones,’ covered so many things we knew little about in a brilliant manner! Thanks to GIA India for the knowledge we gained today, and thanks to Zevar by Sethis for organising the session.”
 
“GIA takes every step that helps the institute further its mission of ensuring public trust in gems and jewellery,” said GIA India’s senior director if education and market development, Apoorva Deshingkar. “I’m grateful to FLO – Indore Chapter for giving GIA India the opportunity to share knowledge with its members and thankful to Ms. Sethi for facilitating this education seminar.”
