Diamond Delights - 4 hour experience

A fun, sparkly, immersive experience introducing you to the fascinating world of Diamonds!  

During our 4 hours together we'll look at

• What diamonds are
• Where natural diamonds formed & are found
• How diamonds react to light (& how we can use this to help us ID them)
• The 4Cs, including an insight into the history of diamond cuts & diamond grading
• Synthetic (laboratory grown) diamonds - beyond the marketing
• Imitation stones - what could be mistaken for a diamond?
• How to identify diamonds & separate them from imposters

You'll then be presented with a box of colourless stones & challenged to find the diamond! 

Are you

• a gem lover
• anyone looking to buy a diamond & wanting more information before making that purchase
• a jeweller who wants to know a bit more about the stones you are using in your work
• an antique dealer who would like to understand more about the stones you are seeing

This session is suitable for everyone with an interest in gemstones & will be a mixture of theory & practical, hands-on sparkly stones!
