    From my experience talking to people who've been to different trade
    schools, I think GIA is the place to go for gemology, esp. if you
    want the GG and not just a couple of classes.  And Revere is the
    place to go for all around training in bench work. 

    About GIA being expensive, there are ways to control the costs.
    Hopefully, they are still offering the option where you take two
    distance classes in advance, then travel to GIA for something like 6
    weeks and boom, you're done.  You can also take the whole program
    via distance learning. 

    I have taken many GIA gemology classes and this has opened many,
    many, many doors for me in the jewelry industry.  Without my GIA
    training, I would have been just someone who took some jewelry
    making classes trying to get a job in the industry. 

    And who can put a price on finding a job to start a career?  For me,
    the money spent on GIA was well worth it, and I would do it again.
