"Diamonds for Pawnbrokers" provides an overview of the GIA 4 C's- but geared specifically toward pawnbrokers. We discuss topics that, as a pawn shop owner, Moris has identified as particularly important or useful for his employees to know and understand, and what other store owners have identified as areas where their staff members could use more knowledge and training.

The information in this presentation will hone the skills of your team in looking at, identifying, evaluating, and writing loans on diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, and other lookalike stones. We’ll share the methods we use in the lab when we evaluate stones mounted in jewelry with your team, so they’re able to identify and separate diamonds from simiulants- using the tools available to them behind the counter.

Each attendee will get a gift bag with tools to practice methods described in the course with example stones (tweezers, loupe, diamond sizer), plus a certificate of completion and a PDF of the presentation slides they can keep and refer to anytime.

For $2,500.00 plus travel expenses, Moris will travel to your shop and present to up to 25 members of your team (You might combine forces with another nearby shop, sending team members from both stores and splitting the cost).

We can tailor the presentation to include content you think will be most valuable to the team members attending. For example, if managers who price jewelry for sale are attending, we can discuss using the RAP sheet to value and price diamonds- or we can leave that information out if you'd like us to spend a bit more time on how to identify and separate diamond from imitations like moissanite and CZ.

We're sure your team will enjoy the presentation, and you'll enjoy the results as they apply what they've learned in their daily tasks.
