positioning learning not only as informative but deeply memorable.

The International Institute of Gemology (IIG), India’s leading institute dedicated to jewellery education and professional training, is setting a new benchmark in knowledge leadership. Known for decades of excellence in diamond, gemology, retail, and jewellery education, IIG is now bridging an important gap, the “need-of-the-hour” skills that today’s jewellery businesses must master to remain competitive.

When the world thinks of competitions, it often thinks of medals, certificates, and rankings, a race to determine who is the “best.” And yes, winners do get celebrated. But if that’s all we see, we miss the deeper truth. Competitions are not just about recognition. They are about discovery.

The International Institute of Gemology (IIG), under the leadership of CEO & MD Rahul Desai, has taken another step in its global journey by creating deeper international partnerships and expanding academic horizons. In collaboration with the Consulate General of the Argentine Republic in Mumbai and CAMYEN S.E., IIG hosted a hybrid masterclass titled “Introduction to Rhodochrosite”, celebrating Argentina’s national gemstone, admired worldwide for its rarity and cultural significance.
