GSI’s gemology seminar enhances sales expertise of EISH by Anand Jewels
29th November 2024
Gemstones, an inseparable part of fine jewellery, need astute attention and examination from the mine to the market. Transparent practices build lasting loyalty in the current luxury jewellery market, wherein experiential high-value items such as gemstones demand awareness both for the seller and the end-consumer that ultimately lead to informed and satisfactory purchases. Sensing this need, Gemological Science International (GSI), a leading global gemological lab, recently conducted a specialised seminar titled ‘Introduction to Gemstones & Diamonds’ for EISH by Anand Jewels in Indore.
In-Depth Focus on Diamond Basics and Beyond
Led by Deepa Srinivasa, Chief Gemologist, GSI India, the session emphasized the need for in-depth understanding of the basics of diamonds and beyond its 4Cs (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight), empowering participants to elevate their engagement with customers.
Comprehensive Insights on Diamonds and Gemstones
The EISH team, through this seminar, received a deep dive into the history of diamonds, their journey from mines to market, and a broader knowledge of global diamond sources. Additionally, they learned to appreciate the key attributes of coloured gemstones, allowing them to better communicate the intricate value of each piece to their customers.
Addressing Modern Jewellery Trends
The educational seminar addressed modern jewellery trends while also focusing on practical aspects such as gemstone care and maintenance, which equipped their sales staff with knowhow about customer behaviour and product preferences.
Training on Advanced Sales Techniques
Adding to this thorough corporate training programme was a session on sales techniques, inspiring the entire team of EISH to engage in more insightful sales interactions and ultimately convert high-value clients faster.
Insights from GSI India’s Managing Director
Ramit Kapur, Managing Director of GSI’s India operations, noted,
