    Amanda, there is another option.  That is a Graduate in Colored
    Stones from the GIA.  Same classes as the GG, but without the
    Diamond modules.  If you intend to do diamonds, then the GG would be
    the route to take.  As for the cost of the classes, if they are
    worth it.  You could easily blow $6000 on a couple bad decisions on
    stones because you were not educated in stones.  The GG will not
    make you an expert, but you are a lot further down the road to that
    goal having taken the courses.  This is assuming that you are taking
    the course for the education, not the diploma. 

Don
