    Suzanne, 
    my $0.02 worth: 

    Even though I am the fourth generation of my family to be in the
    diamond trade, I started out by going to the 

    G.I.A. for the resident G.G. course 

    I think that the education which I got there was fabulous, and a
    NECESSARY part of my preparation for the Jewelry business. 

    This is NOT to say that I completely agree with their teaching
    methods or what they teach.  Also, when I first started actually
    SELLING jewelry, I discovered how much I still had to learn.  (I am
    still learning, 30 years later.) 

    I would recommend G.I.A. as the best all-around starting point for
    someone looking to join our 'profession.'
