GIA New York

Welcome to the Most Exhilarating City on Earth.

42,000 Broadway theater seats, 17,000 restaurants, 400 art galleries and 150 museums. A $5 billion fashion industry. Shopping on Fifth Avenue. The United Nations, Wall Street, and the hub of the US gem and jewelry trade. Welcome to New York.

See the Diamond District in Action.
Here, millions of dollars worth of diamonds change hands each day and merchants sell some of the finest gems known to man. This is where new technology meets ancient guild practice; and where deals are sealed with a handshake.

New York is the gateway to the world's largest consumer diamond market. The vast majority of diamonds entering the United States pass directly through New York and jewelry is New York’s third largest industry.

It's an Industry which GIA has educated for more than 75 years.
And it's the industry for which we prepare students to become expert professionals. Diamond dealers, designers, manufacturers, graders, and gemological researchers – GIA alumni work in virtually every sector of gems and jewelry. By fostering close ties with our graduates and the rest of the industry, we continually update our curricula to reflect real-world changes taking place right outside our front door.
