Allure of Gemstones - One-Day Workshop

Gem-A, 27 Greville Street, London EC1N 8TN - United Kingdom

Allure of Gems

An exciting day of discovery delving into the fascinating world of gemstones. You will be amazed at the diversity of gem materials, some of which you never even knew existed! This is an ideal day for those taking their first steps into the world of gems. The day will start by learning how to look at gemstones and crystals correctly by using a loupe. You will then be able to handle and examine a wide range of gemstones from Gem-A's extensive collection, learning about many different varieties, their origins, localities and properties. This is both an informative and informal workshop, ideal for those new to gemmology. No previous experience is required.

Price: £97.00 (£79.00 for students and members)
