Through initiatives like the Advanced Diamond Setting Training Program, we are committed to empowering our skilled artisans with the latest techniques and technologies. By bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, we aim to make India a global hub for exquisite jewellery.”

The program is structured as a four-day certification course, with 12 setters in each batch, dedicating 8 hours a day to hands-on training. Each batch consists of small, focused groups to ensure personalised attention.

The four-day intensive course for the first and second batches has yielded impressive results, with graduates showcasing a significant improvement in their craftsmanship. Certification opens doors to work with leading international brands. The third batch is currently underway, with further sessions planned through January 2025.
