This section of the Pricescope forums is for tossing around ideas on how to propose marriage to one's girlfriend/boyfriend. You'll get some more useful responses in the Diamond Hangout forum. At the top of this screen, you'll find the forum menu (scroll mouse over "FORUM"), and in that menu, you'll see "Diamond Hangout". I'll see if Leonid (Webmaster Extraordinaire) can move this thread over for you...)))

Unfortunately, business schools are not typically set up to teach people how to run their own business. 2) Learning about diamonds and other jewelry. A really good place to start is just by learning here on the forums. You can pick up a wealth of information well beyond what the normal jewelry store person knows in a few months. In the end, you should probably spend some time working in the industry in a local jewery store to learn some of the ropes. Look for a post in the past several weeks by another person asking the same questions for other answers: There were post in both this forum and Rocky Talk by the same guy (under a name of a magaizine business).

The resulting connections didn't hurt either. Is it too late to hitch a short ride like that with a jewelry related business ? There are business courses targeted for the jewelry business... sure you know that. Those do not seem quite as sophisticated as BS content, but do demonstrate there is some opening for the respective academic profile. Well, IMO at least.

Flawless Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 5/30/2007 Member Since: 8/14/2004	Hi ! Before starting out on business venture in Diamonds and/or jewelry, it is very important to get enough knowledge on gems & diamonds by studying Gemology. There must be hundreds of institutes in US doing that. Incidentally, I leave in Bangkok and one institute I can recommend is Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS). One of the oldest in this part of ther world and in existence for last 26 years and going strong. Offers a complete diploma on gemology, covering subjects of colored gemstones, synthetics and diamond grading and appraisal. Visit their website www.aigsthailand.com The biggest advantage of studying gemology in Bangkok is the accessibility to the world famous wholesale markets of Bangkok and Chantaburi in Thailand. Believe me nobody can teach you business. Only visiting the traders into the open markets and observing them how they buy and sell, how they negotiate prices, what kind of quality they pick and what they avoid can make you understand the intricacies of gems and diamond business. Closeness to minining areas of Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka helps a lot and an experience worth all the time and money spent. All the Best. Flawless.

They are in both Diamond Hangout and RockyTalk. I believe your review of these threads will answer many of your basic questions. Let me know if I can help. I am working long hours and do not post much anymore, but am willing to point you in the right direction on a few things related to business in general. Perry
