Hi Altana,

    Welcome to Orchid and welcome to the jewelry industry. You will enjoy
    it the rest of your life. Go to this web site. It will help you with
    lots of your educational questions. http://www.revereacademy.com
    might be wrong but I have always thought that GIA was focusing on the
    sales part of the industry and not the art and design/manufacturing.
    Maybe they have changed there curriculum since I looked at them last.
    I am a graduate from Diamond Council of America and GIA was always in
    the same category (Diamond and Gem Certification). I also went to
    Stewart International School for Jewelers 

    http://www.stewartsintlschool.com/cat/stewart.htm. This school gives
    you the dirt on "how to" and "Hands On". It is a good school. 

    Good luck in your transition to an exiting career with never ending
    "Oh, My Goshes"! We will all be more than happy to help you.
