Hi!
Its a nice effort. Best wishes from my side. Your blog seems to be highly informative esp for the qualified professional who wish enter the diamond industry. I have gone through some of the interviews that you have posted they are great.
People like me who are in north India, are always looking for some links to brokers where they can buy loose diamonds at cheap prices regularly, so if the blog could give the details of brokers or atleast the brokers you have taken interviews of, would be a great help for us.
Lastly, I would be highly grateful, if you could post some details regarding the main diamond markets for loose diamonds in western India, like Surat, Bhav nagar, navsari etc mentioning their pros and cons and which market is good for buying small/mele diamonds , which for bigger diamonds, which markets sells loose packets and which the sorted ones etc.
Thanks & Best wishes ones again!

Hi
Which curse is better Whether GIA diamond grading course or IGI diamond grading course, for individuals who have limited time and want to upgrade their skills for buying diamonds?
Secondly how to buy loose diamond packets from surat/mumbai markets, esp in case of beginner who does not know both of these markets ?
Waiting for your advise,
Thanks
Saurabh
